Thread: Newbie: Suggestions for first binoculars?

Cheers Chainsaw. Hear what you're saying. Buying used can save a lot of money. I frequently buy used or lower spec stuff when its used infrequently or quality doesn't matter so much, like some DIY tools, others I buy top end.

Please don't take offense but Pricespy and priceme say Monarch 5 10x42 start at $519 new. Are yours the 7 version as they're listed as $800 - $1150? The reviews of them do seem great.
