[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2806702, member: 61747"] If you are asking about a vortex or something with AB and the glass then you are sacrificing glass for a solver. How much sacrifice is a good question. I find most people don't glass much so the solver is likely a better choice for them. If you spend time behind glass, like guides, outfitters, and serious outdoorsman, the glass is a better choice. Here is my WHY. The solver on my leica goes to 1000 yards. It works very well for with additional knowledge. If you don't know how to apply aerodynamic jump/drafts, Coriolis, or spin drift, wind etc you are going to have issues making difficult long range shots. If you have that knowledge the glass is going to serve you better. I don't need a range finder giving me solutions to 2000 plus yards for hunting but it is fun, yes indeed. OK, so why not just run good glass and a LRF with solver....... yep good point..... unless you are predator guy like me and going back and forth is a massive problem on movers like wolves and yotes at 500 plus. The amount of ground they can cover in short order is ridiculous so the bino/lrf is better choice for me, one less item I pack, etc. No matter what it boils down to compromise and what is most important to you.
