Excellent choice - lightweight, good optics - great guarantee

After reading a lot of on-line reviews I bought the Nikon's and I couldn't be happier. They have an excellent in-the-hand feel, they are very light compared to competitive models, very small in size for 10x42's, the optics are A-1 for this price point and the 100% coverage warranty is terrific; hopefully I will never have to use it.

I am sticking with Nikon from now on.

I had a pair of 2 year old Bushnell 10x42 Trophy models that one of the cats knocked to the floor from the coffee table in Nov 05. Bushnell would not repair them under warranty. It also took them 45 days days to get back to me. they didn't respond to voice-mails or e-mails prior to that;really terrible service. Given I own many Bushnell rifle scopes, including expensive Elite 3200/4200 series ones, I will no longer buy Bushnell products.
