I have a pair of the Athlon Midas 8x42. I haven't messed with them much yet but so far they seem nice for the money. The Bushnell Engage and Legend M are also worth a look. I know everybody hates Vortex these days but the Viper HD used to be a go to recommendation for value.
Heres the 8x42 refurb for $300. These are supposedly like new or really close to it.
