best within what price range? I mean, you can spend 200 or 2000 (or more) on these things.
GOOD POINT as I failed to mention price. between2-400.00
I've got a set or two of Bushnells that aren't bad at all in that price range. I think they are the legend series. I let the kids or guests use them. I use them from time to time, and don't mind at all. If you are sitting somewhere that doesn't have something for you to rest them on, I like the 8x42 as 10x42 involves a little more shakiness. Enough to notice. Get the higher end legend series. maybe it's an M. has prism glass and rain resistance.
I've used a buddy's Forge Bushnells for around 380 I think he said and they are a little better.
Others in that range, although I haven't used them much, but I see folks who have them are Vortex Viper and Zeiss Terra. I think Steiner makes one in that range also. Can't go wrong with any of those. If it were me, I'd spend a little more and get Vortex, Zeiss or Steiner.
