8x binoculars enough for Western hunting?

I screwed around with binos for years selling, buying, trying this pair, that pair.

Do yourself a favor, save your money and buy Swarovski 10x42 SLC's and be done.

i agree on this

8X is fine. Quality of bino is more important than the magnification. I run 8's on my chest and 15's on a tripod.
