I just bought a pair of Vortex Viper HD 10x42's. I can't wait to get out west and put them to use.

I use Vortex Viper HD in 10x50. They are very clear and work great for long distance glassing with very minimal eye fatigue if any at all.

leica duovids 10/15. Powered up most of the time, powered down when I need more light gathering.

I have a mid size Nikon 10x that I use more than any other. I like them better than some of my more expensive ones... can't really explain why, just like them.

I use the Brunton Epoch 10.5x43 and love them. I really like the quickness of the focusing when glassing over a wide variety of distances.

Depends on the species and country.

Just purchased a discontinued set of Swarovski SLC 15X56 WB.
I plan on using them for elk this fall.
They are heavy so I don't think I will be taking them on any backpacking hunts.
My 20 year old (or something like that) 8 power Swaro SLCs for archery and my guide series Cabelas 12X50 for the back country elk hunts.

Vortex Viper HD's. Sold my Swarovski EL's and bought the Vipers, a Viper HD spotting scope, a tripod and a new pack with the money. If I had it to do again, I would never have gotten rid of my Swaro's.
