Should I go for this or for the 8x36 version? I plan to use it at concerts, while hiking and when sailing.

Since you mentioned sailing, get the 8x36 version. As power increases, hand shake becomes more noticeable. It's also worth noting the extra eye-relief the 8x has over the 10x: you'll appreciate the eye-relief if you wear corrective lenses and/or sunglasses.

What is the length, circumference & weight of this monocular...? Can it be used 1-handed...?

2" x 5" dk weight needs 2nd hand to focus but can use 1-handed if already focused. wonderful clarity of vision

Is this "Made in U.S.A." product? China?

Hello, this is made in China? "Vortex Optics S136 Solo 10x36 Monocular"

Also -- I wear progressive lenses (eyeglasses). Is there a better model to accomodate that?

I also wear progressive lenses - Like all monoculars, useing them is like looking thrugh a soda straw - This brand and model is better than the smaller, cheaper brands, but it will take some getting used to - learn to point with your nose, then bring the monocular to your eye - Best wishes ...
