OK - so this isn't a light-the-world-on-fire bargain, but it is pretty decent. Cameralandny.com has the Leupold Mojave Pro Guide HD 10x42 on sale for $379. This is about $200 less than commonly seen prices. They used to have free shipping too, but I don't know their current shipping policy. I have dealt with them, and can recommend them.
The Pro Guide HD is the latest version of the Mojave line. I wouldn't buy one at their normal price, but at $379 I certainly would if I were to need a good 10x42, especially if shipping is included. Their footprint is smaller than just about any other 10x42, and they are lighter in weight than most others as well. Optically they are very good, and you won't get any better until you go up to a $665 Tract Toric. Of course we all know how good is Leupold's customer service.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming............
