Say a guy wants to stay under $2k and have a ballistic solver and reliable warranty/decent glass? What's the answer, or are we not there yet?

The Fury 5000s AB if you can still find them, or a second hand set. I am pretty strongly considering selling my Furys to buy the new Vortex

It looks like Eurooptic still has some Revic Gen 1 BLR10bs still in stock and priced at $1650. I picked one up in December and am pleased with it so far (used in NRL Hunter matches and some local club matches). I'm not the kind of heavy user other folks on here are, nor am I used to looking through alpha glass. These were by far the most expensive optic I'd ever purchased (though I now have an NX6 on order . . .). And the warranty may be less than you want. But to me, they are great---point and click for range and solutions, and at one of the matches in which I shot rain was interfering with other RF binos but not my Revics.

Since I don't have time behind other options, I'm not making a recommendation. I'm just sharing information.

Great question, and I would say we are not quite there yet on the new pairs, but the Talon 10k are really close at $2,299. If you got a Mil/LE buddy that wouldn't mind ordering a pair for you I'm sure you can get under that $2k mark!

You also, might find a new pair of the Vortex Fury AB somewhere that a place still has new. Those would be the best bet for a decent new pair with a good ballistic solver IMO.
