I’ve been looking at replacing my spotting scope with 15x or 18x binos. There are a few companies that offer both options. As always, the higher in magnification, the less clarity and light gathering you would achieve. I guess my question is, why one over the other?
My intended use is elk hunting, mule deer hunting, antelope hunting, and open country whitetail hunting. I live in Kansas but planning on hunting some western states for elk/antelope/mule deer. My plan is to pick up a set of high power binos (looking at Mavens, Meopta, Sig Zulu 9, and Vortex Kaibab) and I am also planning on picking up a nice pair of 7-8x binos as well for keeping on my chest. The 15x/18x will be used on a tripod and vehicle window.
