    Leica 10x42 geovid hdb

    Looking at getting a set of these hdb geovids ,I have mates that have the hd geovids and I was wondering if the hdb's were worth the extra $$$$.i do a fair bit of longrange shooting out to 1100yards and use a rangefinder ,wind meter and the shooter ap at the moment ,I can get a set of hdb 's for $4100 good price?if anyone has some it would be great to hear what they think of them also the set of hdb's I have looked at were in meters(do they change between yards or meters )or do you have to buy a yard or a meter set like the hd ones cheers.

    Buy them mate, they are awesome. Can switch between meters and yards. I certainly think they are worth the extra dollars over the hd.

    I really enjoy mine. The glass is awesome and the rangefinder works well. Although, I'm a bit disappointed in the ballistic info entry on the Leica website. For what you pay for the binos and their purpose it's a bit basic.
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    I had HD's and have upgraded to the HD-B's. Over the HD's, they range further and faster, have ballistic info, slight glass improvement and better ergonomics. The protective caps however... Shit! I use a Kuiu bino harness so don't have the caps on the bino's. You would think that they could have engineered a better solution but apparently not...

    Hey Claw, are the HDB's better in mist than the HD's?

    My HD's were a lot better than some in the mist (my brother's pair didn't go near as good). I haven't done a lot in shitty conditions with the HD-B's but they seem to be better

    I have the HD,s. Good thing. Mate has the upgrade. Personally couldn't justify it.
