I broke down and bought a pair of Kahles 10x42 from SWFA. I am disappointed becasue they just don't seem to focus quite right atinfinity. THe best way to discribe it is it seems like the focus ring should turn maybe just alittle more to get that sharp focus I get at closer distances

Pentax DCF WP 10x50

I have a set of Vipers as well in 10x42 and I love them. For the price they're a very good bino - very clear and great in low light.

I use the Swarovski 7x42 slc...bought them from a friend for $500

steiner 10X42...absolutely love them!!!

Brunton Epics 10.5x43. I got a heck of a deal on them and couldn't pass them up. Normal price is around $1350(stores around south east Idaho)for these bino's and I got them for under $1000 (dealer price) and with store credit from the archery shop I work part time at. I have compared them to other top end glass, and they hold their own very well. I have a friend who owns the new swaraski EL's$1800 and I can honestly say I don't feel he has a advantage while hunting/scouting or bird/wildlife watchingat all over my binos. The Epics have a lifetime warrenty as do many other top end binos. This is a pic of the brunton Epics taken from their website for those who have never heard of brunton before.

I've used Wind River 8x32 Bino/Range Finder combo for the past 2 years.
They work great and I only have tocarry one think instead of a bino and range finder.

I have a pair of Leica 8x32s...Best investment I ever made! I believe that they are as good as it gets!
