I have been very impressed with the Bushnell Legends I got a couple weeks ago. My biggest concern will be durability. I've banged my Swaro's around pretty good and they haven't missed a beat.

Can the Bushy's handle it? The plan is/was to just use them as a truck bino but they are nicer than I expected so field use is a given.

After spending some time looking through both sets I believe the bushnells are brighter and have just a bit more clarity. I like the body on the minox better and they appear to be built tougher. The bushnell seem to get a little fussy toward the edge where the minox seem to be more consistant. I really don't think I could go wrong with either pair and both are great for the money. Another plus for the minox is the no fault warranty and I have read some negitive things about bushnells customer service.

I ended up keeping the bushnells and selling the minox to a buddy at work. I'll post back after I've had them a while.

Another vote for the Nikon Monarch ATB.

I got mine to use until I saved up for the Leica's I have lusted after and haven't found a reason yet to replace them. I have the 8X42 model and they have been clear, easy to use, dragged through the mud when crawling into position to shoot and used as a rear rest for my rifle to make the shot, numerous times. I have recomended them to several people with no complaints.

A friend bought the Redfield Rebels to keep at the house for looking at deer in the back yard and has been impressed with them at that price point. He runs Leica Geovid's in the field FWIW.

Bob.
