Default 10x hunting monocular?

My wife didn’t like her 10x42 binos hanging around her neck so got her a badlands harness. She doesn’t like it and says it’s bulky. She would like a little 10x or 12x monocular that she can put in her coat pocket. Anyone have any experience with one and are they any good.

I’ve got half a pair of broken binoculars, I was going to give it to my buddy who only has one eye. Try that, all you need is to put them in your luggage while flying like I did and instant monocular!

I run a 8x vortex monocular often. My brother has the 10x version. I prefer it to binos depending on how and where I'm hunting. Once in a while I'll just use my 7x rangefinder as a bino as well... I have been happy with the vortex ones for the $$. They aren't high end binos so dont try to compare them but taken for what they are they are pretty good.

I think so. It has the small stadia range finding lines in it. He loves it.

I was kinda eyeing up the maven monocular on Amazon. Would be great to not have binoculars on your chest all the time.

That's the R/T Solo.

I have the 10x36 Solo. Paid $100. Got it from someone on this forum. Love it.
