New Binoculars, spotting scope, or both...

So it’s basically a top of the line range finder with mediocre glass

Seems like the only one with good glass and a good range finder is Vector X. I just don’t think that’s an option. Just way too many CS and QC horror stories for such an expensive product.

I took a second look at the NL Range but the premium for such a poorly integrated ranging unit also seems meh.

I’m sorry I just realized I misread your original question. I was referring to the Sig Zulu image stabilizing binos. Those definitely have a place in the elite glass discussion, not because of the clarity or light transmission, but because they can basically give you “off a tripod” type stability while hand holding.

However my original comment still stands in reference to the Kilo lineup. Different world of clarity/light transmission compared to Swaro

I've been much more efficient the last 4 years going with range finding binos in my bino harness and 15 power top tier binos on a tripod. This is how I hunt for 90+% of my hunts and don't see that changing anytime soon.

I did make an expensive switch to the Revic BLR10B's for the bino harness and 14 NL Pures for the top of my backpack for tripod glassing/animal assessment. Looking forward to learning more about that combo this Winter.
