Thread: Bino+Range finders.

I like the 10x25 Leica's used them over 10 years now with a Leica 1600b rangefinder.
I cant remember the last time I carried my 10x42 Geovid's, never felt eye needed more!

Anyway. I digress. 8x30s are for weak little boys with tiny hands. Real men use 10x42's...

Muahahahahahaha!!! Haha!! Muaha!! Muahahaha... (etc).

Actually 8x25 if you referring to Swaro Pockets (Mountains)
There is a EL 8x32

Are - but we can use in 1 hand and a Thermal in the other all at one time

I have bashed my Leica 10x25 Trinovids on a rock face up the tops in the snow they condensed inside and would not focus properly no use after that but I still could use my 7x magnification Leica 1600b range finder and scope not ideal but got me through the hunt.

I sent theTrinovid bino's direct to Leica Portugal and they repaired them for free. had the Trinovids for around 14 years with no complaints.

Liked my 10x25 Trinovids that much I imported a new pair of 10x25 Ultravids when my Trinovids were stuffed rather than carry my 10x42 Geovids.

I would recommend the Ultravid's as it is my understanding the Trinovid's are not waterproof

I started with a cheap range finder and binos,Traded up to pair of swaro 8.5x42s and a Leica 1600b, was happy as with this combo, Then decided the Leica 10x42 geovids would b a good idea, only down side I found with these was the custom billistic curves stoped at 1000 yds which was good until I started to stretch the barrel and shoot out to a bit further so I now have the 10x42s and a sig 2400 which covers all the bases
