Hi Nancy! This is a perennial question, and it really comes down to one
main factor — your price point.
If you’re looking to buy in the Monarch’s range, the Vortex Diamondback is
probably your best bet. It’s one of the most commonly encountered
binoculars in the field today thanks to its balance of performance, price,
and the well-known lifetime guarantee.
If you’re considering a higher-end option, I’m happy to share some
additional recommendations from other companies.
PS — Keep an eye out for post-Thanksgiving sales, like Black Friday and
Cyber Monday!
Cheers,
Chad Witko
