Leupold bino comparison

[DakotaBoy]

Has anyone compared the Mohave versus Cascade vs Mckinley ? I am looking for either 10 or 12 power, and thinking 12 power due to over 50 year old eye syndrome.
I would like any information from the gang

Thanks

Ive have the much lower end rogue's, I love them, mine are the 10x50 and wish I had gone with the 8x for a little more FOV and steadines.

Just got a pair of them on a warranty replacement, was looking to upgrade to slightly more compact . Haven't had time to try them out yet.
I like to overkill on optics though, so have to try out the different options.

Anything over 10x is extremely hard to hold steady without using a tri/bi/mono pod...Especially if you anticipate glassing for more than a couple of minutes...

I have a pair of mojave 10x42 and my buddy has the cascades 10x42 I see absolutely no difference in the 2 other than his cost less ! They are both great cant go wrong either way

Know you did not ask for other reccomendations but I picked up a pairs of Zen-Ray 10x42 ZRS binos last fall and am extremely impressed. Paid $215 and the glass is excellent. I can see just as late out of the Zen-Rays as my Meopta Meostar 3-12x56 scope. Highly recommend you look into them. The ED3 is supposed to be pretty nice, too.

If you can try some 12x binos out, do so. I find that 10x is about the limit of what I can hold steady comfortably.

I have a pair of Leupold's that are 8X that do just fine for hunting. I use a spotting scope if I need more X's.
