Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

[philcox]

The Leica Geovid R is an excellent Rangefinder Binocular and at the price it is difficult to beat, however, the GPO Rangeguides are comparable and less money, certainly worth a look

Has there been any review of the Rangefinder operation in the GPO? While we know it is not as robust as the Revic, how does it compare to the R's for "in the field" use? @Formidilosus ?

 

[Formidilosus]

Still the case today?

From what I have seen- yes.

I haven’t used the GPO’s enough to say.

I’ve ran the 10x40 right next to Revic. There is a difference in the right barrel of the GPO, it takes a sec to notice but it’s a touch darker.

Glass optically is very similar, as far as pure ranging GPO pretty impressively quick and hits far. If you didn’t need ballistics, the Revic isn’t $1000 better, but at 300-400. Its gets a lot closer. Size wise the 10x40 is a lot lighter and smaller, it’s basically perfect for bow hunting or where ounces matter.

My only complaints on GPO is display is slanted if you don’t have a wide face. But weight/size wise GPO is hard to beat if that’s what you are shooting for.

Lecia R has a touch better glass than both. Speed a touch slower than GPO, range GPO touch further. If you don’t mind weight, 10x50 GPO is a better comparison to the Leica R. 10x40 is just a touch lower due to that coating in right barrel, it’s not blue like sig is just a hint darker

I got fedup with the Swarovski issues I have described earlier. Replaced my Swarovski EL Range and Zeiss spotter with the below combo. Will fit Aziak binoclamp when they arrive.

Having used the Leica since the first Geovids arrived, I'm pretty sure I don't give up any "hunting". Also dropped 1 kg/2 lbs off my bino/spotter combo and I guess/hope I'm not giving away too much with fast 15x binos vs slow 20-30x spotter (field of view)

Revic wasn't on my shortlist simply because the $ to NOK currency exchange rate is horrible now.

The 15x Geovids are silly good. Will be interested to hear what you think after some use.

They are out of stock on their website and aren’t even listed on their EV page…maybe soon?

Any news on the new Revic binos?

What's the current insight on them? New mag range (12's?) or just upgrades to the 10's?

Currently debating between an EL 10's/BR4 setup or BLR10b's. Fortunately got to test both in the field last weekend. Leaning towards the ELs/BR4 currently.

I called earlier this week and talked to one of the sales guys about needing a pair by August for Alaska. He told me they would be back in stock and available by then. Asked about upgrades and new versions as well and he didn’t have any info on that.

@huntnful what are you using for a tripod mount with these? A barrel clamp or a post?

Outdoorsmans stud and bino adaptor. Works great!

Same for me. Steady enough in 15+ MPH winds with a lightweight carbon tripod even at standing height. Using an outdoorsmans stud, standard adapter, and their micro pan head gen 2.

Revic offers a dedicated tripos adapter, the BM1

sarcastically and semi-seriously - do you have the orange adapter? seems like something small and expensive (for what it is) that i wouldn't want to lose.
