Been hunting with Nikon Monarchs for the last 6-8 yrs. Excellent glass for the money! My next pair will be Steiners. Yes the green ones are nice. I'll bet anyone $1000 I've killed just as many if not more animals than most of the guys sporting a green pair around their neck. Carring a pair of Swarovski's doesn't make you a better hunter! It does make you look cool! If money was know object I might own a pair.
