    Any Recommendations on Binoculars With a Non-Electronic Ranging Reticle?

    Does anyone have any recommendations on binoculars with a non-electronic ranging reticle or are they all pretty much useless? Intended application would be hunting.

    I've seen an older version of the Leupold, but I haven't seen the newest version.

    The 10x50 Vortex seems a little large and I haven't seen the Recce Pro with the Reticle.

    I've had a little trouble in the past getting Steiners to adjust properly for my eyes and haven't seen the T1042r.

    In fact, that's part of the problem. No one in my part of the country stocks any binoculars with non-electronic range finders.

    vortex has a few monoculars with rangfinding reticle.

    I have their solo r/t and it was fun to learn how to range with it but I don't use it for ranging anymore. An electronic range finder is just a lot easier and they're not expensive today.

      I still haven't completely adjusted to the newer electronic range finders; particularly the lower prices.

      How has the Solo R/T stood up to hard use?

        It’s definitely study!

        The drawback I feel with it is that it takes two hands to use it. One hand to hold and one to turn the focus ring.

        With regular binocs you can turn the focus wheel with the same hand that’s holding them.

        My preference is constant focus like the Steiner 8x30 military marine binocs. They have a randefinding reticle in the Military R model but cost $400-$700ish. I like their regular 8x30, set the focus for your eyes and glass all day.
