    RF Binos yes or no ?

    Asked about the khales rf binos in another thread, just wanting opinions of wether its worth combining my current set up in to rf binos bearing in mind i cant stretch financially to the high end 4k set ups.

    i have a leica 1600 rf now and have been looking at getting the leica trinovid 10x42 or the zeiss conquest 10x 42 to go with it.
    Or am i better of selling the rangefinder and getting something like the khales ,bushnell , vortex rf binos

    Will the glass in the non rf binos be better quality ? considering the rf binos are only $4-500 more than non rf
    Is it that much more convenient having it all in one ?

    looking forward to some opinions ,cheers

    Im not sure what the glass is like on them, but the sig kilo 3000 is a pair id like to look through. I have the zeiss conquest 10x42s you mentioned, theyre great binoculars, awesome imo. But id like to upgrade my rangefider too so im also looking for a pair. Another is the GPO or the leicas. Ive looked through both i just mentioned and during the middle of the day they were both fantastic, fast ranging, great glass, leicas feel a bit heavier/ bulkier but i guess its something that you almost need to have a few lined up to test side by side ?

    From some recent reviews I watched, the Delta RF binos are worth a look

    I hated having two separate bino and rangefinder eg spot a animal in a far away face in a small gap in the bush with the binos then try to relocate the rangefinder some time later causing a missed opportunity. I’m running the Leica Geovid HD-B with the ballistic SD card which speeds things up more for dialing and the glass excellent, can spend hours glassing with no eye fatigue. They are heavy/bulky but in a good bino harness very manageable and quick to use. It really depends on your style of hunting.
