I talk to people and they buy mail order from the usual places for birding.I was not that impressed with the Mojave, maybe because I just think the open frame is a sales gimmick. They were not bad, maybe a little above Monarch overall. Probably better quality control than Bushnell. The Leupolds in the bigger sizes have all seemd solid enough, but the 8x32 I did not care for.The Excrsion EX 8x36 was a pretty good idea, if they had just made sure my pair was mechanically good, I might still have it.  It is about as big a jump in quality from 8x25 to 8x28 as it is then to 8x36. In these lower brands. Optics sharpness etc.  And I was quite comfortable with them. Felt like an 8x32 in hand.</blockquote>
