I have a pair of the Razor 8 x 42 that I used all last year in W. Texas. They are well made and tough and are at least equal to if not better than some higher priced optics. Very clear and low light performance is very good. Warranty is the best in the business. My next scope purchase will be a Vortex. If your budget is tight, the new Nikon Monarch 7 line is an excellent option.
