I concur that the glass is just slightly behind a buddies EL’s but I don’t know that it makes a hill of beans difference in terms of my uses for hunting. The glass quality is certainly very nice, the built in range finder has been great to almost 3000 yds on buildings, ergos flat work great in my hands and so far I’m very happy with them. I’ve got no complaints and foresee no need to upgrade any time soon.

I have done it 4 times now since they showed up Thursday. Temps have been 60-75, slightly cloudy/overcast skies. Now in all honesty it’s a huge building with lots of glass. Had it up in the hills watching elk this morning, temp 56 degrees, overcast sky and it read a bald rock face at 2330 yds and a single bull at just under 1500 yds though at that distance it may have been reading the 100’ + tree just behind him. I haven’t had a chance to really wring them out but so far I have no complaints.

The 40049 is a 2000 yard unit and the 40438 is a 2200 yard unit, otherwise the same

I have the earlier Leica 10x42 Geovid HD-R Laser Rangefinder Binocular (40059) and am thoroughly happy for what I paid. I have not tried ranging past 1200 yds but that is way far enough for me. Optics are awesome and several guys convinced me against the open bridge. Dunno...😀 but I’m happy!

Guys You won't regret it. I use mine a lot. I know the distance for every p-dog. I use mine a lot Like 3 batteries worth and the batteries last a ton of times. Mine are the previous version but are the new shape and brighter led. Color blind so none of the big 3 older ones worked for me. I payed a lot more for mine but CL treated me very well.
