Nikon Monarch ATB 8x42

[Guest]

Was thinking of picking this up later. Any of you have any experience with this binocular?

I was just at Cabela's in Rogers looking at the Nikon 8x42 Monarch ATBs and I really liked them. However, Cabela's 2006 Pine Ridge 8x42 are the same bino's for half the price. The quality is the same (prisms, optical coatings, exit pupil, etc), the only difference is that the Pine Ridge are 7oz heavier. For the $150 difference, I could carry 7oz a long way!

I compared the Nikons and the Pine Ridge side by side and could not tell the difference. I ended up getting the Pine Ridge because they were more reasonably priced, and because of the Cabela's Brand guarantee (no questions asked, full replacement on anything branded "Cabela's").

But I did like the Nikons! Hope this helps!

Well, I picked up the nikons.. They look sweet. Can't wait to test it this week-end.. I hate the work week! haha..

I have owned the 10X42s for five years. I love them. They are the second thing I pick up behind my boots before a morning fo hunting. Wish they had the pop-out eyecups like the newer models but oh well.

I have a pair of the 8x42s with the pop outs. They are very nice for a mid price range binocular. The only other thing that is a MUST is that harness strap deal that holds them tight to your chest.
