Price usually means a certain quality level. Brand is too specific as some have expensive/quality glass and a lower level glass.

There's a big gap in your poll. -$150, 500+? Where is the $150-$500?
I use Nikon 10x50s for coyotes. I usually dont carry binocs in the woods while archery hunting. They are pretty useless in heavy brush and timber and just get in the way.

Spent $300 bucks on a pair of Nikon 8x42 Monarch ATBs. Good glass for the price ad I don't have an problem spotting game. Wish i could afford the high end but like i said i get get good results with these. Had a pair of Leopold 10x42s before and the worked good also. Same price around $300. My dad still uses his Leopolds he bought over 10 years ago.

SWAROVSKI---10by42...My eyes never get tired. I also carry a doubler. I would put this combo up against most of the lesser spotting scopes.

Leica Geovid's. When I bought them, they cost me $1,600, but now they cost about $2,100. Love them, one of the best purchases of hunting equipment that I have ever made, although it still pisses my wife off to talk about them. Scott

Swarovski 10x42 SLC's. I paid 700.00 for them 10 years ago (grey market) with no warranty. I have got my money's worth out of them 10 times over as far as I am concerned.

Leica 10x42 Geovids, best money spent yet. Sold the Leica range finder and swaroskis to afford the purchase, a couple years ago. Its nice having everything in one package.
