Does anyone have any experience with the following Nikon binocular?

I am looking for a 12x to 15x binocular for raptor and distant wildlife observing.

Why? These are all fun toys, but you don't need this for raptors. Do you have a scope? Get a scope with a wide eye piece plus a separate zoom, you will have more use of it.

I tried a 16x Bushnell porro. My lesson cost me less than 60 dollars. Buy a scope.

Thanks for the advice on getting a scope. . .

Do you have any experience with the Nikon Monarch 12x56?

No, never tried 12x Monarch. I have seen it in the display case and it looks too bulky for normal use. Zeiss Conquest 12x is surprisingly light compared to 10x.

Byt why buy a scope when you can use a zoom Eagleview.
Be sure to go out on bright sunmny October days only, so you can view dim eagles at 24x.
