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.

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!

Is that the same reticle that is in the monocular? I'm practically blind in one eye so binoculars are kind of unnecessary.

I'm not sure. I don't have one of the monoculars. Maybe Vortex can chime in here and let us know.

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.

The Recon monoculars use the same reticle. I've got the 10x50 and it is awesome. Great piece of kit.

Sorry, yes as Edgewater stated, the 10X has the human outlines!


Sorry! DOH!!
