$1k Range Finding Binos

[MTBackroads]

I got a set of the GPO 8x before Christmas as I gifted my older Sig Kilo. The glass is good, the rangefinder is pretty good when it was over freezing.

I sent them in to GPO and bought a pair of the Sig kilo6k HDX to hunt with in the mean time. The glass is better in the GPO, but the rangefinder isn't in the same league as the Sig.

GPO sent me a new pair and their service was great, but I am keeping the Sig and selling the rangeguides new in box.

Nope, but I can actually do that today.
I've been keeping them in my truck for a quick daily test, so a few days down to ~30F with no issues.

Good to hear!

Just pulled them out after 2 hours in the freezer, which was at -9F. They worked just fine, though the display was a touch dimmer than normal. Could be reduced battery voltage, could be some of frost/fogging on the outside, but I am not too worried about that.

Did you send them in due to poor cold performance?
I wish I had tried the Sigs, but I am also glad I saved money. Just had some substantial home repairs.
