    I have the 10x32s - just took to Fiordland for a wet nine days. They were lightweight for a range finding bino and worked perfectly. I had Swarovski 8x30s SLC for 25 years before. Not quite as popping clarity but close enough. Would definitely recommend. Here is a bull through them using iPhone

    My son has my old 8x32 SLC and wants to go to a range finder set but doesn't want to pay 6k on Swarovski.
    And to be honest my 10x42 Swarovski are not that great on the rangefinder

    I've got a pair mate. Been using them for just over a year. Clear as, ranges quite quick. Nothing to complain about.

    Sure do, can echo the above sentiments. Very good glass, fast ranging, light and compact for RF binos and great features. Definitely no regrets.
    Image colour is a little cooler than my old HG's but not bad like sigs rf binos.

    Hunters Corner have Geco which are exactly the same, just rebranded, and they are cheaper than the GPO.

    Would pay to check the specs, I'm pretty sure the geco ones are the older model and don't have horizontal correction and a few other upgrades.
    Still great binos and I could be wrong

    You are probably correct.
