Admittedly I have already ordered a pair of the GPO and really like them, including the glass quality which IMO is above a lot of non RF midrange bino’s. I’m needing a second set. My gut tells me Burris due to warranty, my brain tells me another pair of GPO due to all the features/quality. Any input or first hand reviews with either?

Thanks!
 
Gpo is lifetime on the binos and 5yrs on electronics in writing but they do mention this in their faq section:

“WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON GPO USA PRODUCTS WITH ELECTRONICS?
The the warranty of our electronics is 5 years. However, our electronic circuits are built and purchased in Germany, they are the most durable and advanced circuitry in the industry.

We are 100% customer focused and we know that 1 unhappy customer tells 10. We won’t let this happen. If you have any issue with your electronics after 5 years, we will find a way to keep you a happy supportive customer. ”
 
Personally, I think you're better off going with the superior GPO than going with a lesser product just so if there's ever an issue the warranty is better. How about having the best quality and features and trust in the unit?
 
Haven’t put the pair I ordered from you through it’s paces yet Doug but I’m honestly impressed with it.

Anyone know what stud adaptor it takes? 1/4x20?
 
Last question. Line of sight mode use angle compensation correct? Didn’t see it stated directly in the manual. Thanks!

I just tested this, this past weekend. My 8x32 Rangeguides had to display two distances. LOS on top and HR (angle compensated) on the bottom readout. We were shooting at a 25° downward angle and the two readouts were ~40 yard difference to a 300 yard target

I used the LOS for my wind call and HR to dial for drop.

I don't think you can change the top readout to display angle compensated, I think LOS is the only option, but the bottom readout can display angle comp, angle degree, temp, humidity or pressure.
