Thanks for the link deadstick.

Since we had tornado and flash flood warnings today I was not able to get out and scout so I decided to go to Basspro and check out the Nikon's. I think the Pine Ridges I bought are comparable and for about 1/3 the price with the sale. I actually thought the 10X36's wereclearer than the X42's but that's just me.

I did find out that no matter who the manufacturer I can't get long enough eye relief to stop seeing the rings. I do not have double images just not a perfect circle when I look thorugh them. The guy at the shop said it could be an eye domination issue.

8 days from now I get to go sit in the woods and skip a day of work. Can't get here fast enough.
