Good for you man... I've never been into optics. Never really hunted that way myself. But I recently came into some money, well, had it forced into my pocket really... so I decided to get some glass. Nothing exceptional, but I ended up with Vortex Diamondbacks 10x50. I thought I'd get some Nikons, even looked at the Prostaff 5s, then I found a gift card I hadn't used and that brought the price even so I went with the Vortex. I'm so excited to get out and use them now!
