Thread: Unscientific comparision, HDB, EL & Zeiss Rangefinding binos

As an aside, I think the caps on the EL's are pretty rubbish too.

That would be a fair idea, but the HDB glass is only just behind, to my eyes & you most likely won't be shooting far enough to make it an important feature in light that low.

You still need to be able to see it through your scope & have enough time to go & retrieve it.

The HDBs quick ranging & programmable, corrected for the ambient conditions, ballistic solution trumps the others.

The few ballistic solutions I have run for my calibres, only put it up to 0.25 moa different to Shooter at 1000yards
