Point being? Feel like being an early morning jerk? The OP mentioned he may get NL's and have a dedicated rangefinder also. So troll on troll.

You're correct, I did see where he mentioned a separate Bino. However, name calling is not needed.
Neither is being a jerk. You came off as a jerk for no reason whatsoever. How about, just be a nice person? In all honesty, it's not that hard to be nice. It's just a decision you have to make.

Sorry you see it that way, but I still stand behind my last post. So, can we drop this and not derail the thread?
I ended up sending the Leica Geovid R back due to the issues with the rangefinder. I kept the Vortex Fury's and have been using the ballistic app. Overall, they are a good compromise for me but may not be for everyone. My Swarovski's are being repaired at no cost to me, so I am thankful for that. It does take a while to get them repaired so be prepared for a 6-10 week turn around.
The Swarovski NL units are clear and combined with a rangefinder could be an awesome set up but for me the combined unit is just more affective. There is no one right answer but these units are getting way too expensive to just buy and test. This thread will help people find what is best for them.

I have read most of the reviews on here and only heard leupold mention one time. I have a new BX-4 HD and love them I compared them to sig and Leica and vortex. I would not buy 2 of the brands that I mentioned I were glasses and they just wouldn't work. The Leopold in Wyoming worked great for glassing mule deer! And ranging alot of critters in the sage!

A buddy I was hunting with this fall had the Sig 10 ABS.The ranging blew away my sig 2400 ABS.I couldn't get a read on a coyote on snow trotting at around 600, his nailed it.Ranged a building at 5000.Was fast on deer targets easily hitting at 1000. I didn't care for the tint or glass as we both have swaro els

I've been using a Leica Geovid Pro 10x32 for a couple of seasons. Excellent glass and rangefinder well past 1000 yards. AB software is very nice. Previously I used Swaro EL, but switched for the ballistics software. My only criticisms are minor:
1. Smaller eye relief than Swaro EL. Really only an issue is you use glasses.
2. Nonlocking diopter adjustment rings on both eyepieces. For me, the right ring migrates consistently, probably because I am right handed and bump it when focusing with a thick glove on. I need to apply a little electrical tape to prevent the ring from moving.
3. Objective lens covers are worthless. I took them off and find I never really needed them anyway.

Also, no issues with ranging in snow.

I wanted a bit smaller set, so bought the Revic Acura BLR10B, and have been happy with them.

Do you happen to have the 10×42mm model?

Those are the ones I would choose, but heard Sig is coming out with a new version of the Kilo 10 model. It should be announced at SHOT show so I am going to wait.
No. I have the 8x32 model. Very satisfied with mine this season and using them at the range. Ranged some Coues deer at 1500 yards.
