The Nikons are hard to beat in that price range, IMO. Very clear, durable and a great warranty. My brother uses them, I use the Leupold Wind River. Can' t go wrong either way. Unless you want to spend a ton of money you are on the right track.

I got the Nikon ATB' s about a month ago. Great Binocs! Can' t say anything bad about them. I just don' t think there is enough difference for the 800 dollar price difference for the Leupold or other high end glass.

The leupold wind river and nikon monarchs are basically the same price.

Don' t overlook Pentax. One of the greatest glasses on the market for the price. I finally broke down last year and bought a pair swarvoski 10x42' s and haven' t looked back. Everyone that touchs them immediately fall in love!

If you have a K' s merchandise near you, check out the Minolta binocs they carry. I picked up a pair of 8x40 that are as crystal clear as those costing many many more dollars, for $70. I' m not kidding, I thought for sure they were priced wrong, they were so much better than the others from Nikon, etc. They' re a steal.

But, right now I' ve got these on my mind-

Not sure of the glass quality, but love the concept.

I just purchased the Wind River Cascade model.
I got them from Bass-Pro for $249.00.
I compared them to Nikon' s and the Bushnell' s.
For me, they were really clear and bright with no edge distortion.
Done deal.

Try the Bruntons.
