You would be correct. My budget doesn't allow for me to go much higher at least until the kids are out of school and stuff starts to get paid off lol.


The diamondbacks are real easy on the eyes when glassing all day but they lack the clarity that I get from the Monarchs. I was considering the Monarch 5 until I seen the sale on the Leupolds. 249$ when reg price is 400$. I just haven't had the time to compare them.


I'll prob still send my Nikons off to be repaired. I'll just wait till after the season as I am still using them. If the eye piece fell off however I would be stuck
