Thread: Compact binos for bush hunting

If you are on a budget I can recommend Leupold Yosemite 6X30. They are part of the BX-1 series these days. Really compact, super lightweight and perfect magnification for in the bush. Like you I used them for confirming deer when using open sights. I usually carry them bush hunting but don't tend to use them much with the scoped rifles. Handy if you have to look over a clear, river flats or if you unexpectedly hit the tops (sometimes the day just moves you...).

Great for the kids, as light weight, 6 power doesn't shake as much as say 10, and when they inevitably drop them it doesn't make you wince as much as the Leica's etc will.

Still if you can afford compact European glass, then that will always be better.
