buckfever69, the outdoorsmans had a deal going on for 15 x 56 binoculars on sale for $700.00.(maybe it was $800.00) Either way it was a savings of $350.00 from the regular price. They are made by Minox (which are made by Leica) and are very high quality and a very extra reasonable price. My friend has a pair of 8 x 42's made by Minox and they are awesome. I have the 10 x 42 Swaro's and 15 x 56 Swaro's and I am impressed with minox. As I am also impressed with many of the mid range bino's by Pentax, Wind River pinnacles, etc., etc. I've heard great things about Doctor but have no experience with them. So goodluck and let us know what you get. fatrooster.
