Pop...Hold off on spending your hard earned cash. A few years ago I was getting ready to go on a mule deer/antelope hunt in Wyoming and I was in the same boat as you. I settled on a pair of Celestron 10x42 binoculars. I was really impressed by them and what really made me happy is my guide who was carrying a pair of Leica binos asked to look through them and he was equally impressed at the clarity and quality of them. I believe I purchased them from OpticsPlanet.com
