Just saw an ad on the Sportsmans channel for these rangefinding bino's.

They any good ?

The RF is very good. The optics are mediocre.

Splatt, if you're looking at RF binos, you're welcome to check out my Athlon Cronus 10X50s to see what you think.

We've not had lunch together yet, either.

Affirmed ☝🏽

I own them. I use them exclusively for ground squirrel shooting because the laser is excellent, but the optics have a blue, green tint.

Not great glass, IMO

I concur with everything, except for them not being great glass. They might be just slightly less than great glass, but they were awfully serviceable, in my opinion. They hung with alphas ‘til we started looking way out there… in the friggin’ alps…

The rangefinder was cross checked with a Swarovski dedicated unit, and they were in perfect agreement.

If the price is right, you might do pretty well for yourself.

I really like mine and bought them for shooting prairie dogs. Glass as mentioned has a blue/green tint but they are pretty decent with a great range finder. They are not top tier though.


Good Shooting!

Didn’t have it very long and it was a while ago. Can reiterate that the glass was blue-green tinted to my eyes with not the best resolution, but the rangefinder seemed steady. I sold it to a friend who wanted it and then IIRC the barrels went out of collimation.

Depends on your budget of course, but for example, if you can go up to the Zeiss BRF 8x45 HD which I have, I doubt you’ll ever want for more. I’m sure there are other top bino-rangefinders.

Can't say I want to buy.
Just saw the commercial, and they don't seem to come up for discussion here, like other brands do.
I have a pair of EL 10x42's, for good bino's, but I might look at these as a economical option where glassing for a period of time isn't needed.
