RE: Help me pick out new binos
Guys-- I was in your shoes just about a month ago. I did the research, looked through endless binos and read the reviews. I bought the Nikon Monarchs 10x's. I'm a Leupold diehard with scopes and my father in law has a pair of Wind Rivers. A great review exists on the Monarchs on Cabela's website. They way he tested them for anti-fog by running them under water, then putting them on the heat vents is great. I have had the Monarchs for a month and feel like it was the right purchase. I really, really like them and feel I got a quality piece of glass without spending $1000. This is very rare on binos where $$'s usually equates to quality.
IMO - Nikon Monarchs
