I've been in the market for a set of binoculars for a while.....and I know what some of you are gonna say....lol...(figure out what you want to spend.....then double it).

Anyways.....I looked at a pair of Nikon Monarchs.....and I think they'll suffice for what I want to use them for (all around use....from hunting to outdoor concerts....to ....anything). I typically hunt the woods.....so I wouldn't be looking over vast plains or anything like that. They woul dmostly be utilized for scouting....and for when I hunt in VA at my friends' lease (8 point min.).

Does anyone have any experience with these binoculars.....or know where I might get a deal on them? I'm thinking 8x42.

Thanks!

Jeff
