Stump,

Would you consider another brand????? If so, I tested the Steiners comparible in price and magnification with the Wind River 10x40 Leupolds. I ended up going with the Leupolds based on cost and similiar performance I found the Leupolds to be every bit as clear and cheaper.
I really like this binoc, they have worked great for the past 3 years. I use them to stand hunt, spot and stalk, and glass from long distances. Elk, bear, deer, turks... etc.. they are a very versitale binoc. 1 extra I may add, for 19.95 at walmart you can pick up the "bino system" man this works great for packing your binocs around your neck. They really hold the binoc in place reducing sway and noise and are easy to use when you need to pick up that binoc and take a peek.
