Kalahari Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ditto for me. Particularly don't want more than 8x David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Kahles 8x42 or 10x42 Apart from giving up about 5 minutes before Swaros at dawn and dusk, there's not much in it. Great value for a cracking set of RF binos. Vortex also do excellent 10x42 RF binos for around the same price as the Kahles Cheers Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in8twist Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I've been looking at these. SIG Kilo 3000 BDX 10x42 Laser Rangefinding Ballistic Binoculars They seem to be getting fantastic reviews in the USA. With the added benefit of having the ballistic calculator on board.

topscots1 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I am looking at parting with my lightly used vortex RF binos. Ping me a message if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been using mine since May, they’ve been superb at everything be it stalking, varminting, glassing or shooting PRL. As binos they’re up there and as a range finder I’ve not found anything to touch them, plus the added benefit of ballistics capabilities is very useful.

Mossy-dog Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I’m in the same boat - either vortex of Kahles, anyone have a preference between the two (obviously vortex being 10x). last light performance would be nice but I’m am using NXS’s so they are likely to give up first. With the vortex warranty, if you buy second hand, how do you return them in the event of a fault! Just any dealer or back to the importers? apologies to rekindling and old thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistol Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Can’t help you with the RF binocular decision, but I can vouch for the Vortex warranty. Sent one of my scopes here https://csw-online.co.uk/vortex-optics-45-c.asp and received a new scope about 3 weeks later. Not the best glass I’ve got, but the warranty is excellent.

Mossy-dog Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks, that was what I was looking for really. now the decision is really 10x or 8x which will sort of decide the brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richiew Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hi all just a note to be careful of , minimum ranging distance ! . Use my old style Leica 10x42 for airgun shooting at short distances all ok for close ranging to match the sr pro hawke reticle as the laser is in the centre of the bridge , Swarovski s don’t laser below 30 metres as one tube has a laser and the other has the detector . The newer leicas go to 3200 m . Utting’s did a good deal years back . Stronger lasers will range more accurately and to further distances . cheers Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
