Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

[mxgsfmdpx]

Well coming from a new perspective, in all honesty I was a little overly critical of the Revic glass because I’ve just been hunting/scouting mule deer, all glassing from a tripod the last 4 months. I didn’t even need to pull the NL’s of my pack yesterday, or use a tripod to find elk.

Definitely for general hunting, especially elk, these are totally acceptable. I would recommend them paired with some type of spotter though, because it is tough to actually see the tines on a smaller bull beyond maybe 1200 yards or so. You can tell it’s a bull because of the size and color, and see the horns slightly, but to verify brow tines for a legal bull, a spotter or getting closer would be necessary for sure.

Honestly may not even carry NL’s on another rifle elk hunt.

Great info! Thank you!

Revics served me well over the weekend. Spotted and ranged bulls at 2000 yards with them in the am, bulls were identified by color moving through small openings in oak brush. Closest I could get during the day and still see the needed area put me 600-900 yards away for the evening. It was difficult to judge the bulls where they came out at 800-900 yards. Passed on one that was prob legal at 600yards bc I couldn't tell, shot one that was def legal a few minutes later right at sunset. I'm not sure anything short of more magnification would have made a difference in judging the small bulls at that distance.

As a shooting tool I was very pleased and these likely made the difference in being able to get a shot, stand alone rangefinder would have sucked in this scenario. Correctly identifying the animal, immediate ranging, dialing, and making a shot before the bull moved.

I had a similar experience over the weekend hunting deer. Near last light we spotted a buck. He had a big body, but for antlers, all we could see was 1 tall point as he was looking right at us in the timber. I looked hard, got steady, tried another set of Meopta 10x42s and looked through the 10x riflescope and no other points were visible. He did turn his head and I caught a glimpse of his other side and gave the all clear to shoot and my wife took him. This buck ended up being a narrow 3x3. I wish I had the NLs to compare, but at least we didn't lose the opportunity. (Those NLs gave a good view at last light once before in a nearly exact scenario).

Overall the Revics were great throughout the weekend. Ranged WAY further than I ever have, shooting solutions popped up instantly. I'll be taking them rifle hunting for the foreseeable future, but I might pack the NLs on occasion to verify detail or for long glassing sessions, but the Revics will ride in the harness.

Can you share your contact? Literally can’t get a call or email returned.

I had an awesome experience with them also when I needed a repair done. The guy I talked to was Verlin. Let me see if I can find his number

Couple questions here. Do the Revics have an internal compass like the vortex Furrys? If so, do you need to recalibrate when changing hunting locations? Has anyone experienced issues with the wind settings not being accurate when attempting to set your cross winds?

I have the furry Abs and they will not keep an accurate compass calibration. So setting my wind angles is basically worthless right now.

Are you using a magnetic latch bino harness? That can throw it off...

No. Using the Kuiu harness. This is the second pair I’ve had, after the first pair had something similar.

The revics ease of wind adjustment appears to be superior. Just want to understand if it’s still using a internal compass to set wind direction

It does have a compass, I calibrated mine once when I first got them. I have always had accurate wind holds with mine when inputs are correct

Thanks. Idk if it’s the same as the furrys or if it’s relevant but have you checked the accuracy of the compass between hunting spots?

I have never checked it until now, it shows it on the app when linked, mine is off about 10°.

Gotcha. That’s not that far off. My furrys don’t know where they are haha.

Mine just suddenly stopped ranging past 450’ish yards this week in the middle of an elk hunt!

They will be going back to Gunwerks.

They are on strike 2 with me after the Gen 1 bipod fiasco and now this……

My Leica 3500.com just kept banging out ranges over 3000 yards after it went down. Glad I brought it along.

For sure wasn’t because of fog, mist or light rain?

Ouch. Keep us posted on if a reason is determined please.

Nope. Bluebird sky day.

Had ranged 3100 the previous day.

Can someone please do a Revic vs vectronix vs sig gen 2 review???? I was all set on wanting the Revic for all of its positive reviews but I am sure struggling with the idea of giving up my swaro glass if I am going to be immediately disappointed in glass quality.

Vectronix Vector X 10x42mm Evaluation

This will be a field evaluation of the Vector X 10x42mm SMR rangefinding Binoculars. The binos came from Tim @Procision Arms who asked if I would do a review on them. This eval will be similar to the one conducted for the- Revic BLR10b RF Bino Eval Vector X 10x42mm Specs: can be found...

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.

Ever find anything that worked for you? I ordered Revic's this morning but I'm scared that they won't go narrow enough for me. I struggle to be happy behind minimum IPD 58mm binos and generally can't use them unless they go to 56-57mm.

My eyes are close together as well and I’ve been holding off purchasing because I’m scared they will not work for me. Please report back.

I typically push my binos to the narrowest setting. Leica Geovid Pro works for me. Leica publishes 56 mm (same as my Swaro SLCs and ELs). I haven't tried the Revics and can't find IPD data.

Swaro el TA work great as do the 10x42 (not the 10x50+) zeiss RF, sigs are in the mail so will be able to weigh in on those shortly.
