Like my oldest Nikon 10x36 Sporters.So, then we can look at<a href="http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell-excursion-10x32-binocular-241032.html" target="_blank">http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell-excursion-10x32-binocular-241032.html</a>but sizes are not mentioned, weight is OK. I hesitate to try them, as I had th 10x28 Excursion once and sent it back. But I had the 8x32 Excursion in hand and really liked it.[So, back to:If the Viper comes out in 10x32 and 8x32, I will try the 10x32 first, change to 8x32 if I feel it does not add to my collection.]</blockquote>
