You can't go wrong with Leupold. I have the 10-50 olympics and they are great. Very clear and great in low light. Binoculars.com is a great place to buy optics, I got mine for $350 from them. My buddy has the 10-42 cascades and they are great also.

I'm not sure if you've decided yet deerhuntenokie, but I'll throw in another vote for the Nikon Monarchs. I have a pair and love 'em. They are light and have clear, good glass.

If you can afford them, I'd choose a pair of Swarovskis!! :thumb

You would be hard pressed to beat the quality, clarity and warranty of the Vortex Viper series. I have two pair 8x32 for bow hunting and 8x42 for target archery. I also have a pair of Votex Razors in 10x42, a bit heavier and physically larger, but outstanding binoculars.

I really like my Bushnell H20 10x42's. Cabelas has a deal where you can get the binos, an Arc1000 rangefinder and a knife for $300.
