Thank you for the imput fellas.  I think I will go with the Talon's but I am still trying to decide if its a good idea to buy them from amazon or just go threw elknut. the prices are almost the same.. decisions decisions

If the price is almost the same, support the sponsor and get them through Elknut. Supporting sponsors helps support the operation of the site you came to for information.  :tup:

I just got my diamondback binos yesterday in the mail from Amazon. I had no issue with ordering or receiving them. They arrived on time and I love them. If you have $100 off on Amazon I would not hesitate to use it and save some money unless you find a better deal.

It's already been said, but it's something worth reiterating. Check out Cameraland (cameralandny.com) and take a look at the Viper HD's that are on sale. They are downright awesome for the price. I just bought a set as a wedding gift for my son and am having a hard time parting with them (I have a pair of older Razors I might pass on to him instead). I should be shot for even thinking this way, but they are that good. Light weight, bright, clear, very sharp detail, and did I mention light weight?

If you can afford demo vipers from cameralandny that is what I would do.  Vortex starts at viper to me.  Any of the stuff cheaper than viper last I knew was made in China.

It's too late, but I started with the Diamondbacks and returned them for the Talons.  Sooo glad I spent the extra money.  They looked fine at first, but after spending a couple hours in the woods behind my house I quickly found out they weren't what I wanted to be looking through for hours on end.
