[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1714432, member: 12443"] For hunting, binoculars mounted on a tripod, especially for long glassing sessions are far more desirable than a single spotter. The spotter has an advantage as for power at least as a general rule, but angled eyepieces aren’t available on most of them. The newer Swarovski model being an exception, but of coarse very pricey also. But for a varmit hunter, or any other hunter for that matter, who would prefer angled eyepieces, the ww2 German 10x80 or 12x60 flak glasses would be all but impossible to improve upon. Key is to find a set in good clean condition, but that’s not impossible. Field of view in either would be immense, especially with the 10x80s, as compared with other glasses. But they aren’t something you would hang around your neck, or use by just holding them up to your eyes, they do require a tripod. Don’t ever turn down an opportunity to look thru a good clean set of large WW2 military binoculars, especially the German and Jap versions. [/QUOTE]
