Need binocular and rangefinder purchase feedback

[XC700116]

They (Vortex Fury) are solid, the Rangefinder is very good, the glass is good but not great. Another one to look at in that price range is the Sig Kilo 3000 BDX ($1200) I haven't put my hands on a set yet but early reviews are very positive. Stevenc23 on here did a head to head comparison between the two and threw in the Terrapin X along with them and IIRC settled on the Sig might PM him for his opinion I know he's owned Leica Geovids in the past and knows the capabilities of the higher end stuff for comparison.

Swarovski and Leica both have far superior glass, but the rangefinders are about the same and maybe not quite as good as the Vortex and the Sig, but they are significantly more expensive. The new Zeiss Victory RF is definitely badass as well, but again, expensive.

Thank you for the info.; it was helpful. I definitely looked at the Sig, and read a lot of the reviews on it; I was very tempted to go in that direction. I went ahead and ordered the Fury because it has generally good reviews, the warranty, and Midway has them on sale for $979. I hope they are clear enough to see the black patch on pronghorn at 800. If they can do that, then I will be happy. I would love to have Swaros, but that is way outside my budget.

.....my current binos are an old (mid 1980s) Bushnell; anything is a step up from that...lol
