Do you want compact ones for treestand hunting, large ones for shooting house and low light, or just some to have on the truck? I don't really care for the smaller ones. I'd really like to have a set that kinda covers the whole spectrum. But mainly lowlight hunting conditions. My Leupolds have crapped out on me.

Does Vortex make "Viper" binos? ^^^Those Meopta's that someone mentioned above would be outstanding! We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.
