Revic BLR10b Rangefinding Binoculars

[Dobermann]

I’d love to see a good test of this.

Not a test, but a strong anecdotal reaction. Probably not worth listening to the entire podcast to hear it ... it's somewhere near the end, if I recall correctly: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-gcucm-17b5338

What stood out to me is that this reaction/assessment was from someone who shoots a lot in field conditions, and has won a lot of matches ... in short, someone who's used to looking for targets in binos. For him to have such a strong response to the clarity of the Pures had me taking note.

So are these still the best option for rangefinding binos if one is in the market?

I couldn’t tell you. Mine have been back at Gunwerks since November after they quit ranging past 450 yards in the middle of an elk hunt.

Good thing I brought my Leica 3500.com hand held as a backup.

Yeah I’m bitter not only for the dumping on me during my hunt but also for them killing the resale value by dropping the price $1k.

As to glass, I think I mentioned it in my previous post, but I thought the glass was pretty dang mediocre at best in them. My guide was seeing antler points on bull elk at +/- 1/2 mile when I couldn’t even tell some were bulls.

@ElPollo re: vector wind... I'm pretty green on wind holds, but I use the wind feature just to remind me how many mil/wind number. I'm still memorizing the percentages for the clock position/angles too. That helps me keep in mind that the Kestral 2500 only tells me what going on at the firing line.

Anyone who knows…. Should I buy these or wait for something better?

I held off due to the the issues reported here, plus someone confirmed that they are planning to release and updated version.

I picked up the gen 2 Sig 10k's and couldn't be happier. The app with OnX integration and snappy powerful laser with quick ballistics and wind input... couldn't imagine a better setup. I spend most of my time behind other glass, so the clarity isn't a top priority for me.

Good to know. I'd wondered if that's what was happening, but hadn't seen it ... is your source reliable?

I heard it here on Rokslide, maybe even this thread. So no, probably not reliable.
