Ranging Binos

[Brandon_SPC]

If you are mainly bow hunting, I don't see a real reason to get them. It's going to be more of a pain to use them bow hunting vs having a standalone unit. The sole purpose, well main benefit is what mxgsfmdpx stated

I'm really happy with the Geovid pro ab+ both from a glass standpoint and the rf function. the hit probability is decent info to have, though I don't use it in the field. I do like the pro track feature for when an animal goes down in some thick brush or when I have to lose sight of something while navigating to it, whether on a stalk or otherwise. I still prefer a stand alone lrf over the ranging binos for bowhunting though.

I have always had a pair of binoculars and a separate rangefinder, mainly because I bowhunt a lot. But want to go to a single unit. I am not worried about the ballistic app features, just want something very clear and works well in low light conditions.

Was looking at the Leicas and Swaro's. Or are there some others that are better?

Thanks

Best non built in ballistic combo glass wise Is Lecia geo R, second best is GPO range guide. The GPO 10x40 version is only 26oz, and has a super quick and accurate lazer

With the geovids, have we gotten a customizable hud yet? I've been waiting to see if they would come out with a data dump similar to the sigs or vectors. Looks like their stand alone range finder offers that.

Want the glass but also want all the info that the vectors/sig offers. Hate having to go back and forth off the glass to the app.

I love my Sig kilo 10. Only for rifle hunts otherwise I rock a leupold full draw 5 for bow things. Just faster for bow.
The sigs have been on several animals this last year and done a amazing job. Rock a Kuiu g3 bino harness and it works great. Glass is good enough and seem to work good for low light. They are no swaro or leica glass but still solid.

That's awesome. The sigs HUD is what I wish/hope Leicas might be moving towards. Almost sent it on the geovids but might go vectors/sig just for that reason..

The sig warranty is the cats meow. I think the warranty debate in this convo is also something to be said.

Looking at all the options and warranty is huge when your paying the premium these things cost.

I wonder if Swaro will release a pair of stabilized/RF binos now that they have released the stabilized spotting scopes.
