With the holiday season approaching, that traditional issue of what to buy as a gift is always a question. One thing I think everyone should own is a
binocular and an 8x40 or 8x42 binocular is the do everything size binocular. You can use an
8x42 binocular for sports, general widlife, astronomy, camping and, if it is waterproof, also hunting and boating. In fact, if there is an application that calls for a binocular, an 8x42
waterproof binocular, such as the value priced
Bushnell Excursion 8x42 can do it all.
