Latest gen Leica Geovid R vs Fury HD vs GPO rangeguide RF BINOS?

[bojangles808]

Anyone compare these 3 directlybin the 1k-1500 price range? Dont need a solver. A lot of the geovid r feedback in the search seems to be from the previous gen. Thx

The newest Geovid R’s are the best non ballistic, RF binoculars on the market that I have seen. They are immediately better in all aspects (other than laser) than the Fury HD’s, and the GPO’s that I’ve seen were between the Fury’s and Geovid R’s.

I'm looking at the same 3 to purchase. I was able to put hands on the fury's at a local store and didn't love them. So really I'm between the GPO and geovid r in the 8x40 sizes.

I followed this advice and couldn’t be happier. My initial Geovid R’s were a lemon (excess battery drain) but I got a replacement set and have been nothing but impressed. The glass is good enough to sit behind for extended periods despite being RF binos and they seem to be completely immune to cold soaking. I just had a week long trip where it was consistently below zero during the day/overnight and they were only warmed up a few times in the truck during the entirety of the week - I didn’t have to swap batteries once and the rangefinder performance was excellent out to 2000+ yds.

Easy choice.....GPO Rangeguide. Best combo of RF/optics on the market.

Have you used the leica?

My new 10x42 Geovid R’s have just finished their second hunt. Zero complaints. Optically excellent and vg rangefinding to further than I need. If you go this way, there is a special method to set initial focus with the diopter. Then the only other thing I noticed is the main focus wheel is closer to me than I am used to, but after an hour I adjusted and have not noticed it since.

I don’t have any experience with the other two. Main factors for me were my long term great experience with Leica rangefinders, and their excellent optical quality.

I've used 3 sets of the 3200.com, which are at least as good optically as the R model. None of my Leicas performed anywhere close to spec so I went another direction. The GPO is superb, and extremely well built. I wanted a wind hold solution so I went with the Fury AB, which is a great performer as well, but the GPO optics are better.

Thanks. The fury AB has been at the top of my list.

No prob. I greatly underestimated how good they were before using them a while. They'll get you well past legal shooting light, are plenty sharp and bright enough, have a great RF, the AB+ is excellent, and backed by a superb electronics warranty. I'm a believer that with hunting electronics you'll eventually need service/repair, at least that's my experience with Leupold, Sig, Leica, and Swaro's RF.

Do the GPOs give in bino AB+ solutions? Their product website and manual (in German so I may be missing a few details) indicates they have onboard temp/pressure/humidity, but I didn’t see mention of integrated AB solutions.

No ballistic calculator on the GPO’s the x32 and x40 have auto brightness, but the x50 doesn’t

I had multiple problems with the Leicas and got rid of them. Got the Fury’s. Not completely satisfied with them. Maven is supposed to be coming out with their version soon.
