Vortex Talon 10k | Everything You Need to Know

[Chad Dembinski]

We were able to get new Vortex Talon 10k out in the field and try them out at one of our shooting spots here in the desert. I think people might be surprised with these and the display options on these are actually really convenient!

Has anyone else had a chance to get their hands on these and check em out yet?

Anytime I see a review for optics, I scan through to see if there is any digiscope footage in the video.

If the whole video is just a talking head, I don’t watch because I think it’s a waste of time.

Digiscope is obviously not a 100% accurate representation of how the optic will look in person, but it’s way more interesting than just hearing about it.

We can’t hear glass quality.

I got mine in on Thursday, but unfortunately they had a flaw in the display so they are currently on their way to Vortex for warranty.

How do you think they compare to the sig kilo 10k?

I absolutely get that Alex and I think its a great point. I know its something we can talk about in the future and wait til we have the digiscope set up for the optic. Its always nice to see that and at least see the reticle with your own eyes. I will say I was pretty impressed with the glass quality and the display is pretty awesome. I wish some of the premium glass optics would adopt these displays in some of the vortex and sigs.

Oh man that is wild! I know they're customer service is excellent and hopefully they get you taken care of quick.

I really do think the glass quality is a touch better. The sigs have a really user friendly display that I like but I thought there might be a little bit more color tint in the glass compared to these. I really do like both of the displays but the vortex has great solutions and the wind input takes them over the top of the sig 10k IMO.

I stumbled across a video on these and the features offered are pretty nice.

Here is another video we did with the Vortex Ace ballistic and wind attachment

Any thoughts on how the glass compares to the Revic BLR10b gen 1?
I’m thinking to switch it up & the pairing of the ace looks handy for NRL hunter. Just wondering how they’d work for fining targets.

I would say the glass is an upgrade for sure. Not as much tinting and a little better on the edges. With that upgrade and the display having similar type options I would say this would be an excellent upgrade from those BLR10 gen 2 in my opinion. Especially for NRL use case!

Hope the hype is worth it. Upgrading from the Fury 5000's, which served me well, but every review and stat is saying these should be way better.
