Has anyone had much experience with Nikons? I'm a Vortex lover, I've been buying their stuff since it came out but I've been looking into getting a pair of 15's and have read in a few places that the Nikon 16x56's are comparable or better than the Kaibabs and they're a couple hundred bucks cheaper. I've looked through both and can't see a big difference but most glass looks good durning the day. I'm just curious if anyone has experience with the Nikons 16's or otherwise and what you might think about them.

Ive had a pair of the monarchs 10-12 years ago. They were alright.

IMO dont waist time with the vortex 15's,(im a vortex guy)
Look around and buy a used pair of zeiss, meopta or swaro. Im learning hard on buying either the Swaro or Zeiss 15's. My brother has a pair of the 15 Meopta and has compared them to the older SLC and said the meopta were hands down better.

I have Leopold, Burris, Zeiss, Vortex and Swaro. My brother has Nikon. Truth be told, looking through all of them, I can only tell the difference with the Swaro. All are very, very good but the Swaro is better.

Thanks guys. If I can find a good pair of used euro glass I wouldn't hesitate to buy them either.
