New binos for nrl hunter and hunting

[TJE0705]

What is everyone using for binos for nrl hunter this year?

I’ve had a pair of Leica 3200.coms for the past couple years but they leave a lot to be desired. Glass is great obviously but ranging and the ballistic calculator leave a lot to be desired. We shot Mammoth this past year and in the rain and fog my 3200.coms were basically useless. My buddies sig kilos were able to range through the rain and fog. Honestly I’m probably more of a competitive shooter than hunter but still would like to be able to just have one pair of binos for both activities. I’ve been looking at these two options to replace:

Leica geovid pro ab+ 10x42

Questions on these would be:
-Do they interface with AB quantum ap
-how is ranging speed
-how well do they range in rain/fog

Vectronix Vextor X 12x42 with Rmr reticle

Questions on these would be
-is the glass good enough for most western hunting
-how bad is it with the reticle in your FOV
-how are these at ranging in rain/fog

Would really like to hear from guys that have used both. In a perfect world I’d like to sell my 3200.coms and use the money to fund a new pair of binos to use for both hunting and competitive shooting. Worst case I’ll keep the 3200.coms to hunt with and buy something just for shooting.

Thanks for the info guys.

I own the Vector X 10x42 SMR. I don’t have any problem with the reticle in my field of view. I personally don’t like the dual milling trees in my field of view. I have not played with the Geovid and the app, but I’ve tested both of these binos side by side. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Geovid display and the time it took to get data back compared to the Vectors. We had the Vectors, Leica Geovid Pro AB+ and Swaro EL’s comparing last 45 minutes of daylight. The glass in all 3 is good enough for me. For my eye, the Leica is similar to Vector and the Swaro is a tiny step up. These were not EL ranges, just EL. I’m happy with my Vectors fot western hunting, but I’m also not anchored by an experience running 15x NL Pures.

I dont have either of the options you listed but I do have a pair of rf binos that I've loved. The laser is great and glass has been good in my opinion. However having a ballistic calculator inside a set is very intriguing for me as I shoot alot and do compete in NRL as well.
There are 2 or 3 new ballistic lrf binos hitting the market this year and they all seem like they will compete pretty well at the top. I think tract, vortex, and leupold are all worth a look as well.
