Im mainly looking for an 8x32 but the 10x32 Talons on sale at sportsman's warehouse for only $269 is making want to try them out. I remember comparing the Mojave 8x32 with the Cabelas copy of the guide model about a year ago and there was something about the guide that seemed a little different to me if I remember right. I wanted to like the mojave 8x32 (and I still do want to like these) but when looking through the Nikon monarch 7 8X30 it blew away the mojave in my eyes. I like the construction of the mojaves much better than the Nikons but the view is the main thing for me and the nikons have it beat...but I REALLY want to like those Leupold Mojaves for some reason. I just like the way they look and feel. They feel very solid.Anyhow, I may go back to looking for a good 8x32 that isn't too expensive if I don't buy the Talon 10x32.I know you get what you pay for, but there is no way Im going to spend that kind of money for the Alphas.So Im back to choosing between:Nikon M7 8x30Vanguard Endeavor ED2 8x32Vortex Viper 8x32 (if I can find them on sale somewhere or a good deal on a used pair)Eagle Optics Ranger ED 8x32Id also consider poros like the Swifts, Vixen, Steiner..etcIf I get a poro Id actually like something in the 7X50.I may just get the Nikon M7 8x30 and then later on get a pair of 7X50 poros</blockquote>
