Thread: Bino+Range finders.

Was running Bushnell combo for a number of years but last year got the Vortex Fury Combo, have been fantastic and work better for my eyes...

Find a normal RF difficult to focus with, but that's just my visual issues lol

I have always taken the view that range finder technology is changing faster than bino technology. Its a lot cheaper to upgrade a seperate range finder than to have to replace combo binos.

Anyone know of a standalone rangefinder whose monocular telescope finder is of a good quality and decent magnification? Could be a game changer in terms of weight and versatility.

Not that I would use it for that but I have "accidentally" found an animal more than once when ranging a rock or other such object... "oh hey, there's a deer there!

Similar to what’s said above - I run Swaro 10x42 and a Zeiss rangefinder 8x
Electronics no matter how good a brand will probably fail at sometime (may be a quite a long time)
But I figure the binos get a decent set for life and hand them down - my plan at least -

Throw up a price @Sarvo for the 30x8?

@Danny
30x8 ???
The Swaro Mountains are 8x25 and 10x25
Leica do 8x20 and a 10x25 Trinovid compact

You'd be very impressed with those

I’ve got the 10x25 pockets and they are pretty impressive. I probably should have gone for the 8x for reasons already discussed, but I still spot animals easy enough.

10x be better?

I should have gone for the 8x for the better field of view. But the 10x is still bloody good

@Danny The pair of binos I own now are vortex 8x32's bloody handy and their size is great. When I'm feeling flush again I can easily see myself going for a pair of swaros in the same size.

I see swaro do a 8x30 EL? Look pricey though

Yeh they are but I’ll only need one so buy once aye. Sarvo has flicked through a price already. For the size and weight of quality gear I’d rather carry binoculars and a Leica RF and use whatever wherever. I was originally using my Leica for finding also which was ok but far from ideal obviously.
