Out of these three which would you pick an why? Leupold Wind River Cascade model 10x42 , Nikon Monarch ATB 10x42, or Bushnell Legend 10x42. I know everyone is different in what they like, but i was just looking for some opinons on the Leupolds compared to the other two.
I have the Wind River Cascade 10x42 and so far, I am impressed. Very good light transmission and super clear. I can' t speak for the others you mentioned, but have nothing but good to say about the Cascades. Will see how they do out west this November on Elk! Good luck.
Besides the 3 you listed I just purchased the new Outman 10x42' s for just over $100. They were featured in the Aug 2003 issue of Bowhunting magazine and thats how I found out about them. The clarity is outstanding for the price and their fully nitrogen charged and o-ring sealed. Their also rubber armored and very confortable. They have a website at www.outman.com
Well I am going to throw another curve ball in the mix for you. Of the 3, I really like the Nikon Monarchs! The are very clear, bright and a great buy.
