    Thoughts on these binos?

    Anyone got/used any of these binos and how do you rate them? I was going to buy a cheap set as a spare but decided to buy a better set for myself instead. Leaning towards the GPO for weight, but the delta Titanium seem to get great reviews.

    GPO range guide lrf 10x32 690grams
    Delta titanium lrf 9x45 965grams
    Vortex fury 5000 915grams
    Kahles helia lrf 10x42 900 grams
    Steiner predator lrf 10x42 1014 grams

    Cheers

    I have owned and used many different range finding binos.
    I currently run the sig 3000 bdx.
    Value for money is huge as it has applied ballistics lite installed as well.
    Good glass a powerfull and very fast range finder.
    I have had it out to 4.5k in the evening and easy 2k in the middle of the day.
    They can be had for 2.6k on a good day.
    No doubt the 6000 another step up with ability for environmental data on board.
    The only thing wrong with that system is if you pull them out of a warm environment they take a while to equalize temperature.
    I run the kestrel 5700 with mine and that is still the be all and end all of combinations that provide you the very best solution available at this time.

    I'm running the same . A friend sourced me a second hand pair of binos that were as new for £700 approx 1400NZD and I found a Kestrel 5700 for £300 , the guy hadn't even taken it outside.
    Set up is a piece of cake , I programme the Kestrel from the app' and link sorts the rest . In a perfect world the binos would also have a built in compass , but that really is nit picking .

    Yeah 45x will be good. I was more getting at the 42s over the 32s to draw in that bit extra light. Can be crucial at the end of the day and you’ve got that wall hanger making his way across a face
