Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

That's a great way to commit! haha

Eliminate the options, so you have no options to debate about haha. I have to do that all the time for things, because I’m a tinkerer. But that isn’t beneficial when hunting season rolls around. Have to be committed and familiar with your gear by then.

Always helps when you have a crew of enablers around!

My buddy that me addicted to big game hunting probably cost me about $10k in gear in the beginning. I think I've returned the favor 10 fold to him since then

So what non magnetic bino pouch/harness are people using for the Revics?

Currently considering the Marsupial No-Mag pouch.

I’ve been putting them in a magnetic marsupial pouch still. Not the best thing for sure. I actually wasn’t a aware they had a no
Mag pouch

Just purchased it in a medium for the Revics. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I really liked my other one, so this should be just fine.

What problems are the magnets causing with Revics? I love my Marsupial magnet harnesses. Just compass?

pondering on purchasing.

I haven’t actually personally seen an effect. But it would take a little trouble troubleshooting to prove it.

Yes the compass, and accounting for Coriolis effect. But that only comes into effect at extreme ranges and shooting in certain directions. Honestly if you just turn it off inside the bino and don’t shoot passed maybe 800 yards, I don’t think you’d even see.

I’m not ACTUALLY sure the ranges it truly comes into affect. I tested it at I think 1000 yards, by ranging west and then east. And I believe the differences were only .1-.2 mil in elevation.

I have them in a very old agc kiss bino harness. I really liked the marsupial but for whatever reason I always find myself coming back to the agc.

I want the compass to work for other reasons, but I haven't spent enough time with the Revic to even know if this is possible.

When I have an animal down, sometimes a bearing and range to the animal can be very useful to me in recovery efforts. Sometimes we don't walk directly to the animal, having to back out and cross the canyon elsewhere and maybe spot a recovery SxS nearby, etc. before getting to the animal.

So if I have a bearing and a distance, I can fire up OnX and drop a pin darned close to where the animal is located. This is a manual way of duplicating the Tracking Assistant feature present in Swaro ranging binos.

I have done this before with my old ranging solution (Leica Geovid binos), using OnX topo features and sat imaging to approximate the location of the downed animal because I didn't have a bearing available.

Used this method to walk in the dark to within 20 yards of an Elk one of my sons shot last year at sundown. It was well after dark (1-1/2 hours later) when we got to the animal and boy I was thankful to know we were very close in that situation. Tons of blowdown and brush and it was a moonless night.

I also would like my phone compass to work, and the magnet may interfere with that.

Received the non magnetic harness today. It is a much different, way more stout harness design, with hard square edges and a tight bungee. Not conducive to easily removing the binos at all. I boxed it up for a return. Going to just stick with my magnetic harness.

With my old binos I also used the marsupial magnetic harness and loved it. Picked up a stone glacier sentinel large for the revics. Pretty easy to set bungie tension to make opening and closing easy, you may want to give it a try.

huntinful, thank you for posting that. Marsupial is local to me, and I was planning to run over there but right now I am out of state escaping the heat and won't be back until mid August.

I may take my Revics over there and just mess with things and see if I really care

Pattimusprime22 I'll give those Stone Glaciers a look, thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I just switched to the new Stone Glacier bio harness in order to avoid magnets. I've only had 3 days use so far. With that in mind, it's seems great and very easy to adjust for quick access (in and out).

 

[Randonee]

Thanks for the recommendation!

I should have mentioned I got the Large as well so it'd be more vertical for several sizes of binos. It's so adjustable in size I don't now what one wouldn't get a size large.

Also, this is for the Sig 10K Gen2.

 

[BREAKCONTACT]

These binos are amazing….as long as your eyes are not too close together! Finally had to give up on them like i had to on the zeiss 10x54 because eyes are too close to ever get them to actually focus. Have to figure out a runner up now.

What's your interpupillary distance if you don't mind? I have similar issues and have had to sell 60mm binos before to learn that I also have a similar issue.

If one could purchase the revic blr10b and leic geovid pro 8x32 for the exact same price, which are you picking? @Formidilosus

I ordered up a pair of these to use for most scenarios. I’ve always missed having a ranging bino. But I’ve been pairing the NL pures with the BR4 for the last two years and have been really happy with that combo. I have yet to lose any shot opportunities by having separate platforms. Almost all of my hunting is long range glassing and then a calculated move to close distance and kill the animals. If I only hunted within range of making shots (sub 1000 yards) there would be no need for anything other than an RF bino. But my hunts are 99% glassing and 1% ranging and killing. I just personally like the separate units for that.

I’m in the same boat, I have owned or ran most of the higher end RF binos and besides guiding, I don’t like em, under 300 send it and over 300 I’ve not had a situation that we couldn’t get it done with a handheld and I even use a kestrel most of the time for ballistics.
