Vortex Fury HD 5000 opinions?

[LightFoot]

Who is running these and what do you think? Good? Bad? Alternative? (Not looking to spend the money on Swaro/Zeiss/Leica)

My bushnell rangefinder sucks and I am going to replace it.

Some folks say there is a green tint in one tube but I have a real hard time seeing it. So slight that I wouldn’t know it was there if nobody told me.

Overall I’ve been happy with them for what they are. Glass isn’t Alpha, but the rangefinder works flawlessly and is easy to read even in daylight. Glass is on par with the Viper line.

Have you looked at the KILO3000BDX 10x42mm Rangefinding Binoculars with Ballistic Data Xchange

I had also looked into the Nikon Laserforce and the Sig Kilo. (Both of which apparently have some color tint differences in the tubes) and ended up going Vortex due to the warranty. The other two have lifetime warranty on the glass but only 5 year warranty on the electronics, which i would think would be the first failure point. Not sure if this is still the case, but it's worth noting.

I haven't put my hands on any yet but they look like a great alternative to the Vortex.

I will call you guys this week to discuss.

The Sig Kilo 3000 is a great option. Price is probably about on par with the Fury, with ballistic data included. Sig knows how to do rangefinders, IMO. Big 3 RF binos will probably run you more than double on cost.

The Vortex Fury is the only Vortex rangefinder that has impressed me as far as the actual rangefinding capabilities. No ballistic solution is their drawback. As others have stated, optic quality is probably about on par with a Viper.
