Just got a Cabelas sale catalog.  Leupold Gold Ring 10x42 HD's on sale for $800!!!  My brother has a standard set, and my mom just bought the HD's for $1200 two months ago.  Compared to my Zeiss Classics the quality for both Leupolds is superior.  The HD is a barely noticeable, but better in early and late light.  This is a super price and if you want a good pair of binos this price is amazing.
