Get a pair of 12X22s or something but you will be disappointing!!! POWER and light gathering ability is what you look for!!! As long as you can hold them steady they ain't to powerful!!!!!!!
i would have to say i disagree with this comment.
while its great to be able to see each individual strand of hair on a deer it isn't practical for anything other than a person sitting in place all day. the higher the magnification the harder it's going to be to stabilize the object being magnified. if you want long range magnification your further ahead to use a spotting scope. binoculars to me are a device to be used up to 500 yards.
