I don't want to spend a lot of money, preferable $75 or less for a second pair to keep in my truck just in case I need them. I think I want 8x optical but the second number (i.e. 32, 42, 50, etc) what does it do for you? I want something clear and good for low light situations, so do I want a higher or lower second number? Also I was considering the Bushnell 10x42 Leupold Binoculars Permafocus. . . does anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks

I bought a pair of binoculars for carrying around in my truck. All I did was go into the local Academy, pick up and try out different makes and models until I found a pair that felt good and were clear when I looked through them. A set of Bushnell 8 x 32 for $48 and they ride around cow pastures, back roads, and I use them at local football games.
I leave my Leupold binoculars in my hunting kit with the other nice toys.

first off I make glasses for a living so I know what I am talking about. alignment is critical with any optic so much so if its not done right you can not see right. the coatings on the glass are more important. after a certain point the quality of glass is overkill your eyes can not tell the difference because the eye has a certain level of distortion in itself. if the glass in the bino’s has a abbe value of 45+ its overkill. the eye’s abbe is about 43.
Comparing compact binoculars can help you decide which ones will suit you best.
If you are looking …
The Leupold. If you are using them for cold, wet, or foggy weather they will out perform the Burris. In low light conditions is where you will really see the difference. They also have a great customer service and warranty.
great videos i love them keep them coming
