[littlebuf]

im needing some new bino's and i think ive settled on nikon atb monarchs (camo of coarse) in 10x42 or 12 by 54 (i think 54 is right) you guys have any experiences or comments on these. ive looked threw them and i like um but at 350 to 400 $ i want to know if there worth it, thanks

my buddy has the 12x54 and he loves them, good binos for the price, only bad thing is they are heavy at 44 or 46oz.

I have the Monarchs in the 10x42 and really like them. They are a great glass for the price, clear sight even in low light. The only thing I don't love are the eye cups, after awhile they bother me. Other then that I have no complaints.

Go to Camera Land Inc. Doug has the Monarch ATB in 10X56 camo in the Demo's for 249.00.  I think I saw the 10X42 for 199.00.

I have the 10x42 Monarch ATB's in camo and have been very happy with them for the price.

I just bought the 10x56 monarchs they are great binos and very bright

After doing a lot of research, in that price range, those are the binos I am putting on my list of items to get before hunting starts.

FWIW, I have had a Monarch 8x42 since they came out.  I think they are over rated.  I have had two pair and the second was better than the first, but I still have the same objection.  I liked mine for awhile, but they quickly will show a shallow depth of field, narrow field of view and their colors leave something to be desired.  Their resolution at the outer limits of their magnification can also be improved as compared to s better similar priced binocular such as a Vortex Fury.  I also much prefer the ZRS 8x42, or the 8x42 Vortex Diamondback to my Monarch.  But they are OK for the money and will work.  Just don't compare them against much else in a meaningful way.

I've got the Nikon Monarch ATB's 10 x 42 and I love em.  Real clear and work great in low light.  I would suggest camera land as well as a place to check out first.  I got mine at Cabela's but you can get them cheaper if you look around.

My advice (for what it's worth) is don't scrimp on optics.  Get something YOU are satisfied with.  The more quality you can afford the better.  You will never regret investing in high quality optics......unless you forget them haging in a tree someplace.  That'll make you regret it.  Nikons are good glass.  Check out lots of models before you buy preferably side by side comparisons in low light.

check Sportsmans Warehouse they have a bunch of bino's on clearance, I picked up a pair of 12x50 Burris Signature Selects on clearance for $429 reg $569 they had two pairs of 10x50 for $419 and a bunch of other brands and models.

Have owned Nikon Monarch ATB, Zenray VISTA and ZRS, I think a proper order should be ZRS>>ATB~VISTA. The clarity is very similar between VISTA and Monarch. Both are blown away by ZRS.
