I am one of the lucky ones to draw an AZ bull elk tag this year and I am in need of some decent binoculars. As the economy sucks and diesel keeps going up I have less to spend on a new pair of eyes. I am leaning toward 10x42 for size and weight. I do not want to carry a tripod with 15x glass. So give me your opinion on whats good, whats bad, and what you use in this price point. I realize a $2000. pair of swarovskis is likely a once in a lifetime purchase but that just isn't going to happen this year. Thanks in advance for your responce.

If you don't have anything nice to say, you must be talking about Hilary Clinton.
