a friend of mine that hunts with me just purchased a great pair of binoc.'s made by leupold. i'm not sure about the model but they're compact and with shoulder straps (straps that fit over both shoulders where the binoc.'s hang free and even with your chest). i looked through them and they were crystal clear /w great light gathering capability. he said he paid approximately $150.00 for them which is not bad for anything made by leupold.
