    Range finder Binos

    Hi Gents, 1st time poster.

    in the market for range finder binos and looking for feedback from users.
    Currently had a good look at the Sig Sauer BDX and the Leupold BX-4, keen to hear feedback on these and also any other suggestions out there to look at....budget can't do Swarovski sadly.

    Cheers
    Jono

    Can’t help as far as experience but I did have a look through some KAHLES HELIA RANGE FINDING BINOCULARS 10X42 at $2300 seemed good value (if you say it quickly)
    Tossing up buying some RF binos myself

    Vortex AB model are good also, so are the burris. Those two have the best warranty which I believe you need with electronics as at some stage they will fail. That's one reason I'd avoid the sig and leupold as they both only have something like a 2 year warranty on the electronics inside the binos. Delta have great glass and have a decent warranty, definitely worth looking at.

    Had Bushnell Fusion RF binos for near 10yrs now. For a low budget option, they do a good job.

    These would also be worth a look. I rate mine pretty highly for the price.

    I would go for the sigsauer 6k
    I have the bdx 3000 and 6k is my next choice at this stage.
    Bang for buck and will also pair with my kestrel you can't go past them!

    I put off the idea for ever but eventually bought a set of Meopta Optica LR 10x42. They seem to be effective.

    I run the Sig Sauer 6K and cannot recommend them enough. Great glass, easy to use, and easy to swap between rifles and loads. The AB lite calculations have been spot on for me out to 500 thus far. I enjoy the speed at which those binos allow me to get on target. Paired with one of their scopes I imagine it would make getting on to an animal blisteringly fast.

    I second this and Bushnell’s after sale service is great

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
