Very nice optics

By Drysk on June 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

During my research for a monocular I repeatably was confused if there was a reticule marking range estimates (Mrad) or not.
This does.

Construction:

Very solid. This is in no way cheaply built. Conforms to the hand nicely too.
Controls:

You have two controls, image focus and reticule focus.
image focus is obvious but the reticule focus is for some kind of past complaint that the reticule would be blurry.
Basically - set it so it's perfect and never touch it again.
Carry case:

This made me laugh when I saw it. It's "custom" all right. Doesn't mean it's good. nudge it a bit and your optic might fall out. Nice big open spot to let the environment scratch the lens.
The belt loop is a snap on loop. Not sturdy for a pound heavy monocular. If you're climbing and it falls loose, your consolidation is it's in the case as it falls I suppose.

My advice?
Sew the loop so it's permanent.
Turn the case inside out and sew patches of cloth on both sides closing the gaps. I had some leather lying around (black leather) and sewed it on. Looks 10x better and 100x more sturdy. Beats buying a new one and after all, it is "custom" made for it. Too bad they didn't spend an extra 20c on cloth for each one but oh well.

Reticule:
Uses Mrad measurement. Basically you need to know the height in yards and how many mrads it takes. TargetHeightx1000/mrads.
very accurate. Tested it out on some houses (using 10ft for a story) and cross referenced with Google Earth - correct distance.
If you hate math, go for the cheaper non reticule sponsoring monocular. I think they're $90.

Optics:
Very clear.Read more ›

Outstanding lightweight quick-to-go optics!

By Marshall Stanton on April 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

This monocular is highly under-rated. The optics are exceptionally crisp and clear with no fringing or vignetting discernible.

The mil-rad reticle and the silhouette outlines make range-finding both concise and expedient. Just a little time invested in familiarization with the reticle features, makes range estimation intuitive and effortless. It also serves as an excellent backup to laser rangefinders in case of electrical failure of these devices.

The monocular in generously rubber armored and appears is constructed to withstand continual use in most any environment. The body of the unit is very ergonomic, the focus ring situated perfectly for ease of access, and the resistance in the ring is perfect for fine focus adjustment and holding that setting without being unduly difficult to rotate, even with a gloved hand.

The fold down eye cup is also a nice touch with the side-light diffusing feature. It really does help when there is bright sun behind and to the side when using the unit. A good feature with a nice touch.

Optical clarity is outstanding as is brightness of image and ambient light transmission. Dusk and dawn reflect the superiority of this monocular to other optical products! The light gathering ability of this 8x36 optic is simply stunning, especially for the price point!

While weight of this unit might put some people off, it is no more, and certainly less than most ultra compact binoculars, and the visual acuity combined with the brightness of image of this Vortex Solo R/T shames most of those product. I would FAR rather carry the Solo R/T into the field than any of the ultra compact binoculars, both for compactness, quality of image and portability.Read more ›

great outdoor investment

By delphina on September 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

Since I volunteer for Search and Rescue, this item has totally come in handy-- and all the guys are both jealous and impressed. The range finder is easy to use (I'm a novice) and one of the SWAT sniper guys that is the unit is teaching me more on how to scope objects better. I've used it dozens of times within 1 month for both personal and volunteeer work. As far as the carrying sack that previous reviews have complained about: NO LONGER are they used. The newest one is well-reinforced material albeit it's a little big for the monocular. I just sewed some extra velcro to tighten things up better. It comes with a handy clip also. Cheers!

To go tactical or not?

By MrBreakIt on March 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Length: 1:09 Mins

I wanted a small monocular that was crafted of decent quality, somewhat rugged, small enough to fit in my hand without looking like a pirate, and not so expensive that it would cause rapid and violent swearing possibly followed by tears of anguish if I dropped it.

It came down to either this Tactical model or the Vortex Solo 10x36. So I ordered both and did a side by side comparison.

They are both solid performing for their price range, far better than the cheaper plastic models and most every unit available under $90. No real comparison. Spending $200-300 on a monocular requires a very specific need or desire - neither of which applied here. Are they clearer? Sure, but not by much. These units are both very well made with a killer warranty.

To clarify a few things (no pun intended), the 10x model versus the 8x model are just about identical in viewing color and clarity. Science will tell us that the 10x model doesn't allow as much light to the pupil, but you would need a very accurate measuring device to verify that with these two models. They are both nearly identical in dimensions, the only difference being the location of the pocket clip - the tactical version has the clip attached ½" closer to the eyepiece.

Do you really need a range finder? It can be a little distracting, depending on what you're looking at. The mil lines that you use for this action are small by design. So imagine you're standing there holding this thing with one hand and trying to hold your target at the crux of the crosshairs and count mils. You also need to know the height of your target, which becomes really important at longer ranges. Elevation differences, lighting, and environment all effect this equation, so practice with known objects first.Read more ›
