Zeiss Victory RF Rangefinding Binos

[General RE LEE]

Anyone got reviews on these? I am curious how the perform optically compared to the Conquest HD. I would hope they are clear optically even though they are a RF Bino.

They are excellent RF binos. The best on the market IMO. I don’t know how they compare to the conquest though.

Loved mine until a Module went out after 9 months. They are in Germany right now. Not really happy but we will see how it turns out.

Bummer! I had mine 2 seasons with no issues. What malfunctions were related to the module going out?

Quit reading ranges past about 500. Then would give me a false reading every once in a a while. I sent them back and there was a scratched lens I didn’t even know about. Asked for a quote to replace and it was 177 dollars, almost 3x what swaro charged last time I spoke with them.

I had the Zeiss and loved the glass, downloading the App and programming the pair I had was an absolute pain, i could never stay connected to the program with Bluetooth, I didn’t like that part of the package so I sold those and bought the Swarovski EL and absolutely love them, had them last season and they performed flawlessly, the glass is excellent of course and they are very simple to program, the app is very easy to use and the binos will connect to the app in seconds, anywhere if I need it.

On 4th or 5th year with ours. Wife and I both have them. Never an issue. Still think they are the best out there for RF Binos.

I have the 8 ZEISS RF.

First, I did find a bug in the calculation for drops. It’s was very circumstance specific on weather you saw it down range. ZEISS has fixed it, but honestly it was a big challenge to get their attention. To their credit once proven they got on it. Thank you Klaus…

As to the optics you asked: I’ve talked extensively with folks there - this is exactly the same glass and coatings used in their fl line. Truly great glass. There will an ever so slight effect on details at distance in diminishing light. The led projection in the right tube is actually a square film of micro led’s sandwiched between glass layers of the bino. You can see clearly if you look thru the objective btw.

I had to sell my ZEISS fl 8 x42 to fund this purchase. . Before I “kept” and evaluated the software I head to head compared the optics. Bottom line, it is very difficult to tell them apart. In lower light, the right tube very very slightly can have tiny details less resolution. And twilight is trimmed maybe a minute or two. It’s mechanical due to the led display. I have always felt the with alpha glass which Ived owed or own a bunch the ZEISS fl specifically the 8x 42 with the blueish tint is the brightest optic in low light I’ve ever seen. I can see deer bodies in fields at 300 yards before well before sunrise. This was my biggest concern cause one money spot deer hunting I have to go in to a stand when I know deer could be in the field. I can say that these have 99.7% percent of that capability. In normal hunting hours and light one would be challenged to see a difference.

Had no issues with the set I am running now, the set before had an issue with the outdoorsman stud or just had a bad bridge.
With both sets great clarity
The set I have now easily dialed in and performing within 1/4 to 1/2 moa of what my kestrel says. Fast enough, not the fastest, great glass and for any hunting shot it is plenty.

I ran the sig 3k for a couple years and that laser is amazing, but the glass then and now has no comparison at all. Now with the zeiss rf victory you can glass more confidently and range on the fly for shots accurately with very easy ballistic data inputs to the app for zeiss
