What pair do you recommend and what's the sweet spot for a set of all-rounders?

Yeah, but I was stood a mile away and she had them the wrong way around. No, yesterday afternoon I saw what may have been a pair of golden eagles, they were way in the distance so couldn't say for sure but I thought they looked bigger than buzzards, it would have been handy if I had a decent pair of binos.

I wish, he barely leaves my side unless I'm out with another dog.

Old moor often have a binocular day with lots on display, it’ll give you an idea of what you want and how much to spend

I've had a few pairs of bins. But last season I bought a monocular,  only a budget one to try . I much prefer it. Nice and compact and fits in my pocket. I mite get a better one this year. Much better than carrying a big pair of bins. On The subject of bins, I had a look through my gamekeeper mates Swarovski bins, very impressed even though they was huge.

PM a Member called Andy Kelly,he is the man to speak too in regards to a decent set of binoculars

[Seagull 647]

Just looking for some all-rounders, what's the sweet spot though, 8 or 10x magnification?

I’ve had loads, Lica, Swarovski, but all I will have now are vortex, just a general pair, I’d go for something like 8x42, I’m onto my third pair of vortex crossfire, they are really good, cheap and have a lifetime warranty, I’ve broken two pairs ( my own fault) and sent them to them and they sent me a new pair

You prefer 8's over 10's?
