I posted this in Other parts, accessories, etc. and got very little response so I thought that I would put this in Optics, Scopes

I've had a rangefinder for 3.5 years and started thinking about getting a new one. I was having a hard time getting readings in certain situations - trees where the leaves hang low, weeds, low ground squirrel mounds. I have 3 locations I shoot at and it was bugging me. Mine was 8 power which I liked and most I looked at were 4 - 7. I don't remember how I started looking at binoculars but they intrigued me but I was stunned by the price. Well, I ended up buying these:

and couldn't be happier. They are AWESOME! The glass is fantastic, the range finder is flawless, very easy to read, very fast return. I've used them 4 different times and I smile every time I think about it. They are bigger and heavier than my old one but holding them with 2 hands makes them steadier and pushing the button doesn't take them off target which was a problem with my old ones. It's hard to justify the $'s but now I'm really glad that I bought them. I had bid on a couple Bushnell 10x42 laser rangefinders on ebay but didn't get them. I had set a limit because if I was going to go high I knew that I wanted the Nikon's.
There are some reviews out there and the only ding is the external coating picks up dust pretty easily and they do.
I've had a pair of Vortex Diamondback 10x42 binocs for years that I was happy with but these blow them away.
