RE: Binocs or Spotting Scope
If you are glassing from the truck , I would sugest 8x50s or 10x50s , The 50s are going to be much clearer and brighter than smaller binos , and you are in the truck anyway so its not like you are carying them all over the place . As for brand , I like lepole olimpics , the others in this price range dont even come close to their quality . If your well to do , look at zeiss , and swarovski's .
For me 10x50 lepole olimpics would be the first Id look at .
