Thread: Range finder - Delta RF2000

Tested in the evening I would have to say that optically I prefer the Deltas over the geovids for several reasons.

The field of view is larger. I don’t think the specs on paper agree with this statement but that is what I can see. L

The picture is like looking at one large round picture where as the Leicas and sigs always felt like I was trying to combine two images no matter how I adjusted them.

Low light capabilities are ever so slightly brighter than the geovids. Honestly tho I would say the glass is comparable for all practical applications. The geovids have blacker blacks which gives a more dramatic feel while the deltas are just a tiny bit brighter overall.

Finally it may just be the fit to my eyes. These are the only binos I have had where I hold them still and explore the whole image in front of me. Even with leicas I would focus only on the centre of the image and have to move the binos around the landscape.

I have hunted with swaro el (non range) and that is the closest I would place the deltas in terms of the lack of eye strain etc. unfortunately the deltas don’t have that intense colour ‘pop’ that non Lrf swaros have.

And last comments. If you are on the fence or in the market at the 2-3k price range then buy these. The only upgrade I will make is eventually go to something like swaro pure 8x42 and a standalone rangefinder but that’s more than double the investment which is years away for me.

Oh and these arca clamps are worth a look at too

Hows the rangefinder going @Love_ducks? Still going strong? Any reason you think it won't be still going well once the warranty period is finished? There are very few reviews on them so am hanging my hat on your feedback. Cheers.

Still going like new @hirahhillbilly still ranges like new and still on original battery. Still range pretty much anything out to a 1000 yards and then have to be a bit more selective past that out to around 1800 which is the further way reading I’ve had. The only issue I’ve had is I left them out of my case one day and lost the rubber eye piece. Still very usable just slightly harder to focus. I did contact Delta nz and they said they would order a spare when they did the next order but been awhile now and still waiting. The only reason I’d change is to a ranging bino or if I did only low light shooting and wanted a colored reticle other than black.

That's good to hear. I went ahead and ordered one today. Thanks.
