JG,
BTDT, pondering over the best option.
The RF binoc is faster than individual units; that may be the biggest plus.
I got store sample Zeiss Victory 8x45 T* RF binocs from Doug and the gang for a little over half retail.
Before, I used Swaro or Kahles binocs with Leica RF, all great units.
Zeiss glass is really good, the RF will give readings out to 1,500-1,600 yds.
Sorta big, but not overly heavy, my go to unit.
