I have several Leupold scopes and I am intereseted in their new Gold Ring Binos (primarily for hunting). I have always heard, that for low light situations (morning and dusk), it is best to set your scope magnification at 1/7 the objective size (ie: 50mm is set to 7x). I assume this is the same for binos.
My question: Would the 8 x 42 be better than the 10 x 42 in low light, or does it really matter when comes to binos?
Also, what are your opinions on the new Gold Ring binoculars... are they the best choice at $1000? I would love to have a pair of Swarovski's, but I don't believe they are worth $500 to $700 more.
Please Help!!
