Scott showed these to me last year at the Bash and I immediately liked them. I kept meaning to purchase a set but never got around to it. They were on the prize table at MCR so I grabbed them. These things are really handy. Especially when following a student from station to station on timed stages.

This is the reticle that is inside the left eye piece.

The clarity is really good and I like how compact they are to keep in my ruck for use. Their monocular is cool but this is a lot easier on my eyes. Anyway, check it out if your looking for something like this that is light and small.
 
Re: Vortex Viper R/T Binoculars with Mil Reticle.

That's awesome for practice ranging.

The neighbors in Grapevine look at you funny when you do it with a scope... especially since it is mounted on a rifle...

Looking in to one now!
 
Re: Vortex Viper R/T Binoculars with Mil Reticle.

I'm not sure. I don't have one of the monoculars. Maybe Vortex can chime in here and let us know.
 
Re: Vortex Viper R/T Binoculars with Mil Reticle.

I have the monocular and love it. My monocular is the 8X36 Solo Tactical. It has the mRad reticle but *NOT* the human silhouettes.

I have been quite pleased with it. It's an easy way to practice ranging at the park or on a hike without having the rifle along. I guess people might frown on that, dunno why!?!?!

Sometimes the hash marks are a bit hard to distinguish against some backgrounds. It'd be nice if they were a tad thicker, but then that may take away from accuracy of ranging?

I just got the monocular for ease of throwing in range bag, etc.
