Vortex Ranger HD R/T Binos

[Fig]

I had not heard of these (search on SH gave up nil) or seen them anywhere, but they are "Limited Distribution", whateverthefuq that means. As far as I can tell it means they're really difficult to find on the website, and even more difficult to find in the wild. MSRP is $800. I found them for a lot less. I have no idea why these aren't being trumpeted, as I think there are a great many people for whom these are perfect. Without jumping through ridiculous hoops to get etched reticles in existing optics this is really an easy button with the below specs. I think the pair of Razors HD binos I have to glass for Elk are an unbelievable value for what they are, but I always wished they had a Mills reticle for spotting at PRS matches. I jumped, so when I get them I will give a short review, but this is something I had been looking for forever at a reasonable price.
I would have preferred 12X56, but this is what they gots.

Been looking at these for awhile and like you, I could never find much info on them. For $500 I’ll probably give them a try.

They need to put that reticle in the Furys.

so how do you like them? i just learned about these too, and like you, haven't found much in the way of reviews. any idea where the glass quality falls in the vortex line? thanks!

They are pretty damn nice! I bought the vortex ranger rt April to have a battery free range finder. Not quite as good of glass as my Leica binos, but very clear & bright. I was impressed.

I have the monocular version of these I think(the Recce Pro HD). I emailed vortex and they told me that the glass for it is equivalent to the Viper HD binos

I have the solo monocular also. The Ranger rt
glass appears to be better , could also just be the coating difference..

awesome, thanks for the replies guys! i decided to bite and give these a shot... was looking for this magnification, love my vortex glass (and their warranty), and the reticle seems like it'll be pretty useful.
