After spending years, and not so much money, for Bushnell, Simmons, etc. I finally broke down a couple years ago and got Swarovski 8X30. Will never use Japanese glass again. But then I won' t have to.

Pentax DCF WP 10x42s. I got them this spring for the same price as the Nikons since Pentax was coming out with the " SP" s and these were on " make room" shelf.

Cabela' s Alaskan Guide 10 x 42' s. Excellent quality
at a reasonable price.
That said, they don' t work quite as well in extreme
low light as my older Nikon Monarch ATB 8 x 40' s.
I needed the 10 x 42' s for hunting out west as
trying to find a coues deer on a rock mountain
was just about impossible[:@], but for hunting
here in the midwest...tough to beat a quality 7x
or 8x
.
