I like the wider afov that a 10x mag gives. What are some good options? Or maybe a 10x36 Monarch?

Too late, the Nikon L 10x32 is mostly gone

The Kowa is 315ft fov, leaving only Leupold and Vortex Fury

Nikon 10 x 35 EII has a 7 degree FOV. (367.5') If you can find one. It's a porro prism. Swaro, Leica and Zeiss 10 x 32's have about 6.7 FOV's. (351.75') If you can afford them! Leupold Gold Ring has 356'. (Expensive and heavy) Vortex Fury has 346'. Most of the rest have 315'. 30 feet difference over 1000 yards isn't much. That's 3 feet at 100 yards and 1 foot at 100 feet. At any rate the inexpensive ones aren't very good when compared with the expensive ones.

I'm under the impression that 10x mag invariably gives a narrower fov than the alternatives (which I presume to be x8) so if this is a high priority I'd go for a lower magnification,
