Are there any BRF’s that range through the left tube for us one-eyed old geezers?

I doubt it, majority of the population is right eye dominant.

I had that problem a couple of days ago with my Leica Geovid 2200 that I got from Doug. Ranges fantastic in 30+ degree weather, but struggles at beyond 250 meters when the temp gets below freezing. Not too happy about that, as it doesn't do me much good as a hunter to have a BRF that doesn't work in the weather we get during hunting season. The RF in my Bushnell Fusion worked WAY better in cold weather. I'll likely be contacting Doug to see if this is something the warranty should address. My geovid hd b binoculars are about 3 years old or so. I hunt all fall and winter in Montana s cold temps. My rangefinder has always remained strong, and I have had zero issues. I wonder what the difference between these two units is? Mine have been rock solid.

My HD-B2200's did awesome except for the one day it turned cold...Got down to about 10 degrees one morning and RF wouldn't work at all....I thought something had gone out...my mid day it had warmed up to high 30's and it was working fine again.

I have asked this for many years and I have been told (and BTW, it's true). 85% or so of rangefinder binoculars sold are 10x units. 15x56's then 8x42's make up the balance. 8x42's account for about 8% of all sold. Nikon only offers the Laserforce in 10x42 as building an 8x doesn't pay. The 8x32 is a much handier size, however, the projected sales does not offset the cost of design so it will most likely never happen

Thanks for the reply, maybe someday one of the optics companies will see a need to build us hunters what we want

Thanks for the reply, maybe someday one of the optics companies will see a need to build us hunters what we want That’s the thing- “hunters” don’t want that. The manufacturers in most cases DO make what “hunters” want. If someone made an 8x32mm rangefinding binocular..... they’d sell all of about 8. Whether or not hunters have any idea of what they are talking about, is another matter.

One of the things I like about the new laser force is the ability to use the center thread for a tripod adapter...quality 10x’s on a tripod will change the way you glass.
