    Hunting & Fishing What binos do you use/recommend for hunting?

    I'm thinking of getting binos with a range finder already included ... but i'm undecided on the magnification and objective size. either 8x40 (-> leica or, more likely, the new swaro) or 8x56 (-> here only the swaro comes close; or zeiss?) Well. let's hear what you lads and lasses use out there.

    adjustable, detachable cheek rest without pouch
