Vectronix Vector X 10x42mm Evaluation

[khuber84]

The focus wheel on a handful of vectors(including my own) I've heard personal reports on(friends I know and trust), it has lash in it. Almost like a spring needs preloaded before the focus is adjusted. The depth of field in the vectors is very good, so there's not a lot of focus adjustment going on anyways. The glass IQ is not zeiss, Leica pro, swaro El level. It's better than a lot, but not alpha. The system hasn't given me a target I couldn't range yet. Atop a Tripod, no problem ranging trees or ridges up to 4k yards. Cold weather performance, run cold weather rated Nitecore 18650 batteries, they're rechargeable and through testing, superior to cr123a.

@Mike D Texas @Runwilderness , have you cold soak tested the 3200.com?

I'm wanting to get a brf with a great laser and quick ballistics solution, but don't want a set that fails in the cold. I was thinking I might save for a swaro el range, but it sounds like that doesn't work in the cold worth a darn.

I have the Geovid Pros, but no, I’ve only had them for about a day now so I can’t speak to their performance in depth yet.

The most I have cold soaked it was on my recent elk hunt, but it wasn’t terribly cold then. 20s in the morning but up to 50s mid day.

No issues in those conditions.

I don’t want to mislead anyone into thinking the Leica gives a fast solution. It does still scroll through range/dial up/wind and there is a few seconds between each.

Based on what I’ve seen the Sig 10k is going to give the fastest because it shows all 3 values on the screen at the same time.

Yea I was thinking the 3200 was a newer model. I guess not. So I'd be more interested in the pro ab+ anyway.

From what I can find is that they're optically similar to the swaro range, but better than swaro for ranging and app

Glassing in foggy soup today. Could not make out antelope at 1,100-1,200 yards that Ryan found with Swaro EL Ranges. This is the first environment where there was a noticeable, immediate difference in ability to see something with the Vectors compared to top end glass. This lasted about 15 minutes, and then the light/fog was such that I could see just fine through them again.

My comment to Ryan was that I was looking through two fogs- one was inside the glass.
