Great review. Thank you for making the people learn the reticle themselves. So good on you.

I really appreciate the content, honesty, and perspectives you share.

I have had some of these in a shopping cart several times. It looks handy. I have lots of optics but still want one.

Great video. I have a few pairs of quality binoculars, a couple of laser rangefinders, and of course many, many ranging scopes, but never really thought of this. I never really knew that this existed or realized the hole in my prepping that this fills until I saw this video. With coupon codes it is close to $110 from what I can tell. Definitely think I should pick this up. Thanks again!

very thorough video, and useful info. Thank you

Great review. No batteries needed the same reason I carry a magnetic compass and maps in my bag.

You're super eloquent! Thanks for the review!

I used kinda similar stuff, soviet БПЦ 8x30 with rangefinder reticle. Each mark equals 5 units or 18 MOA. D=(L/n)x1000. For example, for 1.80 meter human fitting in 5 units marks distance equals 360 meters. But it's hard to measure height of target with so rare scaling, escpecially with shaking hands, so Vortex reticle can be more precise and useful. But it cool stuff for "prepper" man. It's small, weights nothing, handy and allow to stalking babushkas two blocks away.

Really great and helpful video - thanks for sharing

Good Stuff!!! Very Concise!!!

Yes sir, I’m going to get one

Thank you for the great review! Be safe and God bless you!

One of the best scopes for the money!

Great video. Mine is coming today

I kinda dismissed the ranging feature of this while looking at monoculars. Not sure why but now I really like it and this will probably be the one I butt now. Thanks! Helps that I in Oregon too. This video has shown me your channel too!

An additional reason not to rely on a laser rangefinder. With a military grade short wave infrared camera, the laser pulse from your civilian rangefinder can not only be detected but can be used to accurately direct fire on you. Here is an example, kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqGclMqbiq_eh8o.html There are automated anti-sniper systems that triangulate those pulses, in addition to gunshot shockwaves.

well done my friend.

Great info,thankyou

Great review, I know you posted this 4 years ago but if you haven't already I would highly recommend a mildot master.

Sounds like this would pair nicely with a mildot master.

Great review. Looking at getting one and you answered a lot of questions. Do you mind advising if you need your glasses for reading or distance and does it have any effect on the monocular use? Cheers Stu NZ

An EMP??!! :D Yes, at least I'll have a working monocular when Skynet finally attacks. Now pass me my tinfoil hat, someone?

Thanks for the review! Quick question - my focus ring rotates only about half a rotation, if that - is that intended or is mine a bad unit?

Recommend Vortex solo R / t 8x36 gosky titan 12x50 or wingspan optics vingspan titan 12x50

I wish they made this in a 25 mm like the non ranging version. Then you could easily fit it in a chest rig compartment and maybe squeeze it into a pistol mag pouch.

Followed a career path here and met and married a Minnesota woman. Lots of hunting, fishing and shooting sports and rural land here. Could be worse but, with that said, it still isn't Oregon. You know, Whitetails not Mule deer and closer to the Libtards on the Right Coast. Thanks for the reply. P.S. I am still on a mission to teach them say ORYGUN here. Not ORA GONE, LOL.

the Solo is a solid choice, but i sprung for the RECCE Pro instead for a few reasons. its made in Japan, which means very clean glass. it has tethered dust caps both front and back, and a molly pouch instead of the cheap, neoprene "protector" the solo comes with. yeah, its 2x the cost, but you get what you pay for.

You might want to learn and use the major number mnemonic system so you can memorize your entire list of calculations. That way you dont calculate at all, you just compare with what you see and pop out the result from.memory.

I received my R/T today. It has a great image, one just has to align his eye perfectly with the optical axis so he doesn't see black on either side which is pretty easy to get :) . But that's just a matter of training. The eyering does not keep flipped but that's because the rubber is new and elastic. It is also stiff to rotate and they don't even mention the possibility of eyering rotation in the manual... The only drawback is the case, they no longer supply the sleeve you show in the video, but a cheap-looking case with velcro. :-(

@PontiacCZ

No, it was some other e-shop here in the Czech republic.

The Celestron Oceana 8x42 monocular includes a ranging scale in milliradians. Good: it also includes a compass, though the compass does not rotate freely through the full 360 degrees on mine. Bad: it has only one focusing adjustment, so for objects at most distances you have to choose between having the reticle in focus or the object in focus. (The Vortex has separate focusing for reticle and object).

whats it like over shorter distances say 100-200 yds/meters?

Pardon my ignorance but could this product be used to identify targets at long range, if i have no need to determine range?

Binoculars are better. You get a 3D view and compact binocs will occupy about the same space and same cost. Monoculars are good if you are a pirate with one eye and a patch over the other.
