I got some Leupold 10x42 Gold Rings this year before season opened, and I absolutely love them! Tried a few others that friends owned, including these, Zeiss Conquest, Nikon Monarch and Bushnell Elite, and the Leupold's were my favorite. They are a little on the heavy side, but not at all bothersome when using them with a harness system. Fantastic optically, and the warranty is absolutely unbeatable.
