[QUOTE="zorrofox, post: 1750996, member: 83966"] I am now the proud owner of a pair of Leupold Acadia 8x42's! I couldn't wait until the weekend so I went to the shop today and tried them out. Luckily the shop is also a shooting range (not in-store) so getting useful feedback was easy. To me they seem fantastic! Very sharp and very bright too. The build quality seems very good to me, perhaps not Leica quality but damn solid for the price. I paid £173 for them. I only have two criticisms - the objective lens covers are very poor and the case, whilst of good enough quality, has no belt loops. I'm really looking forward to the weekend now. Can I say a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread. Without the help & advice I've gleaned in these forums I wouldn't have had a clue what to go for.
