Keep an eye out for Vortex on sale. Pretty good glass. Been very happy with mine and got them on sale for 50% off at Cabelas no less a couple years ago. They are their diamond back series 10x42. I have found that Vortex whether binos or scopes are a pretty good value not the best out there but pretty darn good for the price and you can find them on sale and typically better sale prices as a % off than most other brands.
Nikon also has some decent value optics and they also can be on a decent sale savings occasionally. Their prostate line is on the cheaper side but ok. Their monarch line is pretty decent.
