I bought a pair of Steiner Military Marine 8 x 30 binos last winter and used them this spring for turkey hunting. I was really impressed with the sharpness and my hunting partner, who usually doesn' t have anything positive to say about my gear, said that he was impressed. While me and another guy snuck down a long field to get in position to call some gobblers, he looked at them thru the Steiners. This field had to be about 400+ yards long and they were on the back side. He could see the beards on those birds and was impressed. Haven' t used them out west yet but for the money (About $200) they are a good choice. I like the fact that each eyepiece has it' s own focus that you can adjust with the thumb and index finger while holding them naturally.
