Dropped my Monarch 7 binoculars yesterday and broke the eye piece. Never was really impressed with them and want a new pair. What do ya'll recommend. 750.00ish range.

What do you mostly hunt?
I like 10x42 for bowhunting. Vortex and Maven make a great binocular

$750? You can get a pair of leupold gold rings and be set for life.

Meopta. Whichever is at the top of your budget will work.

Pretty sure Nikon has a no fault warranty. Even if you are looking to replace them it wouldn’t hurt to have a backup.

Looked at vortex and leupold before picking maven. Do your research, you wont find better bang for your buck.

Nikon does have a lifetime warranty.

Zeiss Conquest. Look on eBay and other sites. 1K binos but can find them for $800 on sites like archerytalk or eBay. I also looked at Vortex Razors.

I have some 10 x50 Leupold’s. An eyepiece broke years ago. They replaced the pair free. Lifetime warranty. About 750.00. Very clear and they gather light well.

I have a pair of redfields that were $120 and they are super bad arse.

Pretty sure they stopped making those. you are right though, very nice glass!

I agree with hat. If was me I would get the Maven C.1 10x42 then take leftover money and buy you something real nice like. I just took my Maven's to Wyoming and I was out-glassing my buddies Leica's all day. They are a great value glass. Oh, they also offer a demo program where you can try their products free for two weeks. If you decide to keep it, you get a little discount on it as well.

I've a Brunton Eterna Mid-Size 10 x 32. Wouldn't trade them for anything. Awesome optics. Not sure why Brunton stopped making binos. Very high quality

Those that have Mavens which ones do you have?

C1 8x42, wish I had gone 10x42. I still see great but was afraid of not being able to offhand stabilize. On a trip recently my buddy had leupold 10x50 and I could stabilize fine. That said the mavens kicked the leupold butt on clarity and low light.

Having a tough time deciding between going with the C1 or ponying up and getting the B4s.

Anyone return for warranty service without "proof of purchase"? I have no idea where my receipt is. Seems to be the kicker for warranty repair per the website. Ill call once they open to actually speak to someone.
Called Nikon. 100% "no fault", no receipt or registered product needed. Going to get fixed but still going to buy a new pair.
