It would be our pleasure to discuss options with you. IMO, a Nikon, GPO, Minox or a Leupold would be money well spent and give you the best quality for the $$$$
Please give me or Neil a call Monday and we will hook you up

Always nice getting a deal ! Since you reached above your budget it would have been nice for you to take a look at Nikon's MONARCH HG 10x42's. They just took top honor's at Field and Stream's Best of the Test. I have been using a pair for 4 months now and they are truly special and worth a look for those thinking about dropping just under a grand. The light gathering and edge to edge clarity is excellent. Yes, I do some freelance work for Nikon but I buy many of my own optic's and this is one ! That being said I had beenusing the MONARCH 7 for 3 years and my Swaro has been sitting in my safe untouched for that time. A lot of outstanding bino's on the market today, take some time and look through as many as you can and buy the pair you think will meet your needs the best. http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd363/bman940/IMG_8594.jpg

Good job - they are what I use but it took me several set le to get there. They are about the best pure hunting binoculars and you got them for a steal. After looking through mine a few times my cousin dumped his Vipers and is happy he did. spec, that is why I bit the bullet and bought these. Have done that in the past on other stuff from time to time and regretted it. When this deal popped up, I had to make it happen. With these and my compact Leupold set, I think I'm gtg.

If you get into the $700 range, the Tract Toric has no peer. You have to spend at least $1500 to find something better, and even then it isn't very much at all. I could tell very little difference in my Toric and SLC HD side by side,
Total agreement, here!

We just put the BD42-10XD 10x42mm Prominar XD Binoculars on sale, reduced to only $399.99. In my opinion, under $600.00 this is the best 10x42 available. Feel free to give us a call to discuss it, I think you'll be thrilled with these

Pentax DCF WP II, 10X42. I have a pair and I would rate them as excellent and they are well within the $700.00 budget. Of course, the Swarovski 10x42 SLC HDs you ended up with are in a different class.

Thanks, High_Noon. They were guaranteed by UPS to be delivered yesterday... Do I need to tell the rest of the story? They weren't. Matter of fact, they just got to FL early this morning.

Feel free to give us a call to discuss it, I think you'll be thrilled with these id like to see these compared to a tract toric 10x,,,, i just got a pair of the torics a month ago and compared to my minox 10x43 i bought from doug for over 600.00, the tracts are clearer looking, brighter at the last few minutes of the dusk, adjustment wheel much better, eye cups so much better,,, if the prominar can be as good as these torics then they would be a hell of a buy
