does anybody have any experience/own these? your thoughts?

Yes i've used the conquest binoculars but not the 10x30.I owned the 8x30. I dont really Know where to start.
They are built very,very well.
They are clear as my 1150.00 dollar swarovski's UNTIL the light gets low.
The strap,case are high quality.
If i could change your mind about one thing it would be to get the 8x30 because the exit pupil is so tiny with a 10x30 binocular. i think you will be very unhappy. But i don't know what you are going too use your binos for. If you're going too use them in low light you will hate them. second the 3 mm exit pupil of the 10x will have shadows very,very bad
the 8x is not that much drop in magnafacation. but it will be a lot brighter.
