One thing to keep in mind, especially if your going to use them hunting,how will they with stand the fall or trip,bouncing around on a horse or atv...As an example,Nikon scopes do not do well with heavy recoiling rifles like the .375 H&h and up where Leupold and Burris both do...My binoculars get heavy abuse hunting but there always there when needed...I don't have to baby them like the Tasco's and Bushnels of old..I have ruined more than one pair of binoculars until I spent the extra money for ones that can take the abuse...
Just something to think about,not everyone is a Clutz like I can be,hiking and riding the hills..lol
