i`ve had steiners leupolds and now meoptas. i like the steiners because of the autofocus and they were great at low light. I didn`t much care for the leupold mohave. The meoptas i have now are nice but the focus is very very sensitive. If i glass for a few minutes in the stand and then grab them 10 minutes later i have to refocus them all over again.
One thing to becareful of with a good set of binoculars is they can get you in trouble. I have seen some bucks within 100 yards low/no light that i would not have seen with a crap pair of binocs. No i didn`t pull the trigger but i dang sure thought about it.
if you bite the bullet and get a good quality pair you will kick yourself for not doing it 15 years ago. You will see deer that you would never have seen. Alot of times you will see deer long before they step out into the opening. I have friends that don`t understand why i won`t hunt without them. They will never understand until they try it. They and anyone else that doesn`t use good optics mis out on more than they will ever know.
for now steiner with auto focus gets my vote. i may go back to them next year. A little heavy but well worth it.
