Nikon Monarch 8×42 Binoculars are one of the best choices today in high-quality, affordable binoculars. When I first started hunting, I didn’t give much thought to binoculars. I used whatever we had, and some of them were really not that good. I just didn’t know it at the time. It wasn’t until much later that I realized what I had been missing.

My perspective was changed on an elk hunt a few years ago. A friend of mine let me use a pair of his Zeiss binoculars. The difference was amazing, but Zeiss binoculars were much more expensive than my budget allowed. The importance of good binoculars was soon to really become really important to me.

The next day we were hunting in the early hours of the morning. There was only a little light, and it was very cold and wet. I tried to glass a clearing, and I couldn’t see anything. My binoculars had fogged up on the inside. That left me feeling very helpless during the hunt. I knew there were elk around, but I couldn’t use my binoculars to find them. Needless to say, quality became very important for me at that point.

I did a lot of research, and decided to buy a set of Nikon Binoculars. I bought the 10×42 model because of the long distances where I would be using them, but the Nikon Monarch 8×42 binoculars are just as good if not better. I really liked the way I could see a full field of view with my eyeglasses on. I hadn’t been able to do that before. Also, I really liked the overall optical quality. They were noticeably better than all the other binoculars I tried in my price range. Are they as good as today’s Zeiss and Swarovski binoculars? No, but they are reasonably close for one tenth the price.

The only thing I’m not fond of is the lens caps. They are not the best ones I’ve seen, but I don’t use them when I’m hunting anyway. So, I don’t consider that a problem. In storage, they stay in their case, and the caps stay on just fine.

I really believe the Nikon Monarch 8×42 Binoculars are some of the best binoculars available today at a reasonable price. If you can afford Zeiss or Swarovski, go ahead. If not, check these ones out. They are a really high-quality set of binoculars that won’t break the bank. Nikon also has a no-fault lifetime warranty to back them up, just in case you need it.
