[QUOTE="jda2631, post: 2218944, member: 23675"] I had all of my stuff stolen recently (was insured, anyone that doesn't have Eastern Insurance firearm insurance get it immediately. Very reasonable pricing and they covered literally everything I had. I am not affiliated with them just a very happy customer). But that put me in a position to think out and buy exactly what I wanted. Here is what I decided on. Manufacturers usually only give a short warranty on electronics in rangefinders and rangefinders in general are still progressing pretty quickly. Straight bino's on the other hand don't progress a whole lot. I didn't want to go for a $3k+ pair of Swaro EL ranges or Leica 3200.com's only to have electronics die after warranty or be replaced in a year or 2 with a new model with AB on board or something. So I went for 10x42 EL's and a Leica 3500.com for basically the same price as EL ranges or 3200.com's. The binos I doubt will ever need to be replaced, glass doesn't "go bad". At least not replaced any time soon. The rangefinder I can replace later on down the road if they release one with full AB on board or something else that is worth upgrading for without having to spend the $3k+ on premium range finding bino's. Then I also snagged a pair of the new vortex fury with ab to use shooting steel, out riding around at the deer camp on the side by side to shoot hogs and coyotes, and I'd also like to shoot some NRL hunter matches in the future and they should be pretty good for those matches also. I haven't used them much yet as they just came in. But I am impressed so far. Also given their full lifetime warranty on glass and electronics they are perfect to throw around in the truck and side by side. [/QUOTE]
