Athlon or Burris Rangefinding Binocular Experiences

[mustelid_master]

As the title says; did some digging and couldn't really find any information anywhere on here about these. Anyone have any input, good or bad? I get a discount on these and can get them for 900 bucks.

May I suggest the Burris Signature 10x42 LRF Rangefinder Binocular
Features

• Three ranging modes for greater versatility: Auto, Sport and Hunt.
• Distances can be displayed as line-of-sight or horizontal with angles of degree.
• Tripod Adaptable.
• Outer surfaces are rubber armored for protection and a sure grip.
• Adjustable eyepiece ensures a clear view.

I've been behind a few, glass is good for a rf bino, laser is okay but the depth of field is pretty short. Features are a little lacking for the price. There's a greater than 1% chance there is a better model coming soon with ballistics on board. As mentioned above the burris are pretty dang good for the price and so are the non ballistic leica units.

You have some insider trading knowledge?

Myself, no. Not involved. Am I maybe around people involved? Possibly, it's also a pretty loose kept secret. But it does seem to be taking awhile.

Gotcha. The burris's are intriguing as well, not on my radar prior to this thread

The Burris Signature 10x42 LRF Rangefinder Binocular is a nice quality unit. Problem with Burris and their binocular line is they do not promote it so most folks only associate riflescopes and rings with Burris.
They also offer a made in Japan Signature HD 15x56mm Binocular for only $799.99

Did some more research on the Burris's. They seem to be a good option, so I changed the thread name and am sending it back to the top.

What is the electronics warranty on the Burris version?

 

[mustelid_master]

It appears that it is lifetime for electronics

Anyone tried them compared to say Leupold BX-4 RF?

How does it compare to Leupold's BX-4 RF?
