    How compact? Would depend on what you figure as reasonable priced Ken. I would probably go with something from nikon or leupold.

    Being a Luepold fan, I would take a look at the Luepold BX-1 Rogue in either 8x25 or 10x25. You can get them for under $100.00 and they come with Luepold's lifetime warranty. They also have the Olympic compact series which are considerably smaller and lighter but more expensive, but can still be had for some where around $180.00.

    They dont have to be microscopic, just small to medium would be good.. preferrably under $200... I like Burris and Steiner too

    I bought Nikon 10X and to tell you the truth, I'm less than happy with them. I see better using my scope (during rifle). I had 8 deer within 250 yards in Indiana (6 bucks) and I could hardly make out how many points the bucks had. It took 5 minutes and a migraine from squinting so hard.

    I will likely get a pair of really good, compact binos for next year.
