Just bought the Nikon 10x42 Monarchs binos. I was impressed when I looked through them at last yr's GTG. But I do have a question. I was also looking @ Leupold Windriver binos. 10x42, same price. Nikon is made in China, and the Leupolds are made in Japan. Nikon has 25 yr warranty, Leupold has lifetime warranty. Any one have experience with the Leupold? The Leupold is a little lighter.
