Looking to buy binoculars for my son for Christmas. Looking in the $200-$400 range. He has a couple of cheap compact Bushnell that are lower end. Something he can use for general use on the farm and for outdoors. They don’t need to be compact. Right now I’m looking at Nikon Monarch 8x42, Leupold Alpine and the Leupold BX-4. The Leupold BX-4 are $100 off at Bass Pro and is tempting.
Definitely open to suggestions or opinions. And 8x42 better than 8x32?
With Covid I really don’t want to go in a store and handle them.
