Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

Could not pass up the $1k off sale on these Revics. Just ordered a pair from Doug at Cameralandny. Been agonizing and overthinking the decision for months. But that’s what I do.

Good thing you took a few months of deliberation and were able to catch the sale and make the decision that much easier! I like Doug over at camera land. They always have good prices and good customer service!

My BLR's do a weird thing now where they range the target, but give me a different calculation for different object along the way.

This is only when objects are near the ranging path.

For example. Target at 700 yards. Range target, readout says 700 yards. Correction given is like 5 MOA. I know that's not right. There's a tractor disc like 3-400 yards away, in the path and its picking it up for the correction, but giving me the 700 yard readout.

It will give me corrections for targets in front of and behind my target, all while consistently just giving me the same, correct, target distance. Different corrections every time, but the same target distance every time.



If I range a bold face, or a tree, it never does it. Only when there are near objects along the ranging path. Not sure how I feel about it right now lol.

I wanted to make another update to this.

I was shooting with my buddy, who also has a pair of revic binos, and his binos were giving corrections WAY FASTER than my binos. And I could not make his give a false range/correction either.

So despite taking my battery out and putting it back in, and it being a relatively new battery, with full battery indicated. I decided to just throw a new battery in to check it. Mine now gives extremely fast corrections and I can no longer make it give a false correction either.

So my issue must've been battery related. It was taking mine about 2-3 seconds to give me a correction after it grabbed the range (I didn't think much about it until I used my buddy's) and in the meantime I could place the reticle on another object, and get a false correction for the stated range.

Now I'm getting corrections in about .5 second and they match the range every time. Crisis averted for now.

Ideal? No. But nice to be aware of these things if you own a pair. It's excellent technology and it's tough to be 100% perfect all the time with a technological product. I will absolutely keeping using them, and just be aware of these hiccups and monitor them for future things like this.

Hmmm, I wonder if I should try a new battery in mine, I haven't been displeased with the speed but it is noticeably slower than my BR4 was. I range and then the bars move left to right like a loading bar then a correction value pops up. Thought it was odd, but its still less than 2 seconds I bet. Was hoping for nearly instantaneous like my BR4. Even still, as-is it is faster than the Vector's I tried.

Mine was doing the loading bars as well, and not when it was in LR mode either. Just standard mode. It no longer has the loading bars with the fresh battery. Range pops up, and correction pops up immediately afterwards.

Going to try that this afternoon then, thanks!

My Meoptas were never fussy but I always carried two extra batteries in my battery/odds and ends pouch for it in my pack, along with an extra battery in my bino harness front pouch in case it took a crap and animal needed to be killed haha.

Oh yeah, I always have a spare battery as well!

I didn’t think it would be the issue since the one in it was brand new energizer lithium that I put in before season.

Maybe it was a shit battery though.

Heh, heh, heh…. New toy came in tonight. Probably be this weekend before I can get them set up. But I was ranging the water tower about 800 yards from my house in the dark tonight. I can see the issues some people have with the glass. Honestly they are pretty clear, but the blue tint in the right barrel may cause some eye strain. Need to get them out in the field and play with them.

If someone missed out on the sale I have a pair in the classifieds and I am willing to match the sale price.
