Looking for some advise on which power to go with on these binos for the range at max distance of 100yds with minimum ammo size of 223. I am aware of all the spec issues involved with both powers. I am just looking for anyone that has actually experience in using them.

By the way, I DO NOT want a spotting scope.

ThanksBig Smile

I'd go for the 10x....most shake too much for a 12x unless you are willing to use a tripod. 10x works fine at 100yds.

i can see .22 holes on paper at 100 yards with my 8x.
A 10x would be much nicer than a 12x.
