Looking for advise. I can purchase a 8X40 Zeiss or a 8X30 Swarovski binoculars for about the same price. Your suggestions.

I mostly hunt from an old broken down farm house in the middle of a field of beans surrounded by some trees, mostly pines. The deer move from about 4:00 until dark to a bedding area and cross the field ata maximum range of 300 yards.

I also plan a trip to Wyoming next year to hunt elk, don't know range or light conditions I will find there.

Thanks much.
