I already have the b.3 8x30 compact a use for deer hunting in Minnesota.
Looking at getting a new pair for western elk hunting . Looking at getting either the
B1.2 10x42
B 6 10x50
Anyone have experience with these?

I'd scratch the 10x b1.2 and replace it with the 8x. I did the same after a season with the 10x and my wife having the 8x.

Then decide if I valued FOV over magnification/objective diameter. I'd imagine you can only win once you click the order button.

if you're hunting elk in an area with lots of glassing opportunities, I think 10X off a tripod is what I'd stick with

I've hunted with quality 10x42's and have never felt handicapped vs 10x50's

if you're hunting in an area with lots of dark timber, bring your 8x30 's
