I tried just about all of them, including 2 pairs of Swaro SLC's, and finally settled on Zeiss Conquest HD's in 8x32 (their 10x42's are awesome as well). Many birders consider the 8x32's the best Conquest HD's made and I can see why. The image is fantastic. I didn't care for the position of the focus wheel on the SLC's and the focus wheel on both of my copies was not smooth. It's a common problem with SLC's. On a good tripod mount, I have located legal MD bucks from over a mile with just my 8x32 Conquests. I'm not a trophy hunter, but if I was I'd bring along a small 20-25x fixed mag spotter to confirm what I was finding with the 8x32's. I've bought and sold about 30 pairs of bins and 10 scopes in the past 4-5 years and right now I'm pretty settled on my Conquests and Opticron spotter. They do everything I need optics to do.
If someone told me I could only bring one optic on a hunt, it would be my 8x32 Conquests or a pair of 10x42's, along with my tripod and Outdoorsman stud and adapter. That combo is just incredible.
