[QUOTE="Beardedboar, post: 718306, member: 56431"] There are three units that I like, The Swarovski Range Bino 10x42 clear, great ranging, get it done, but hard to come by right now due to demand. Leica's Geovids are my favorite, but "rumor" has it they have a new one coming out soon. When I get more info around Dec 1st I can post it here, a LRH exclusive. I will say from what I do know of them, if you are planning on buying a set of Bino-Rangefinder YOU NEED TO WAIT!!!!! You will want to kill your self if you don't get these. Lets just say us in the Long range, hand loading, slightly mental/anal LR shooting world NEED the new Leicas. Also Leica, have less issues with their warranties and rarely have issues, unlike Swaro which is more common though they take care of them 100% every time. Vectonix are great as well and get the job done, but I have minimal experience with them. Lastly just be aware of Grey Market optics, make sure your Optics are purchased through Swarovski USA, Leica USA or what ever. A lot of distributors purchase direct from Austria, Germany or Asia sell them for about 100-200 bucks cheaper, but their USA counterparts will not warranty them you need to ship them back to Europe. One customer I have did that to save a few hundred and when his Swarovski's were damaged he had to send them back to Austria to get repaired. Swaro USA would not touch them. Cost him about $150 in shipping and 6 months later he got them back. Not good. Anyway just my two cents. Shoot Straight, Tony [/QUOTE]
