So this is the second product I have ordered from this company. The speed of delivery and customer service is second to none. I really have no idea how it could be any better. So Kudos to the crew .... now for the binos .... the RF capabilities are the best in the industry after the ones that are in the 10 - 20 thousand dollar range .... so that really does not need to be discussed . The ability to range an Elk at 26 yards was easy ...... then also out to 467 was no problem .... then across the section at 800 was harder just because I am shaky. However if done off a tripod or fence post it would be no problem. Now for crazy part the glass. I would rather look through these than my own eyes ..... the HD makes everything POP. The color spectrum is remarkable !!! I have a swor. spotting scope without the HD and it looks like an old rear projector television compared to a 4K. Now my old bino are a set of Leupold 10xx50 which have had extensive use over the last 10 years. Also no comparision in low light ... yes the Leica's are only 42's but they still kick those other ones butt...... so start saving ..... 10 bucks here .... 50 bucks there..... as the bino is something we use more than any other hunting tool !!!

Bought this bino few weeks ago and can't say enough good things about it .As you probably heard already glass is outstanding, from first minute to a last minute of a legal hunting light. I have tested rangefinder in drizzling rain/light fog and I got range readings on a middle size bushes at 2165 yards and it was easily repeatable. Anything with 1000 yard was not a problem at all. I could range single Canada goose at 743 yards. If you consider buying one do it right now, you don't know what you are missing out on. Have a happy glassing and hunting.

Great glass and the best rangefinder ballistics in ANY combo out there! Can't beat europtic's price or service!!

I've recently entered the foray of optics. Until now I had been using a friend's Leica Duovids for hunting--they're about 10 years old and are still pretty amazing. I have some other decent optics like an Elcan Specter and Schmidt & Bender Stratos. These binos are easily in the same realm. I don't really know how these binos could get much better, really. Plus, adding a laser range finder and the ability to add your rifle's ballistics into the computer?! Simply amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase these again. And at $800 off?! The price at EuroOptic couldn't get much better either.

These are by far the best binoculars I have ever used or looked through. They are easy to set up and use, and have exceptional clarity, color, depth of field, contrast and low light performance. The range finder capabilities are equally exceptional. RF is fast and will range things my old one will not, and at distances well beyond my ability to hold the binos still enough without a solid rest. The horizontal equivalent distance reading is also spot on. In my opinion these are the best RF binos money can buy.

After 15 years I decided to move on from my Zeiss victory's. After many hours of reading reviews, speaking with pro hunters. Then field testing all the other alpha glass in 10x and 12x the Leica hd-b made the most sense to me range works great, wide field of view, minimal abration good low light for 42's. The biggest knock is the limited 5 year warranty. eurooptics great price made this easier to swallow as they were hundreds less than the only other true competitor. If I didn't want the range feature I would have gone with the 10x56 WB SLC.

I have owned the small Leica rangefinder for bowhunting for years and absolutely love them. With that in mind, I decided to purchase the Geovid 10x42 HD-B Rangefinding Bino's. Excellence is an understatement when it comes to their performance. From accuracy, clarity, ballistic calculations to the way they feel in your hand, there is nothing better!!! I have heard words of hesitation from the critics that claim that rangefinding binos are do not perform (in terms of clarity) as well as standard binos. Let me tell you this, I have owned a pair of Zeiss Binos for years and they do not hold a candle to the clarity of this product!!! A bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for!!!

Bought these a week ago and took them to the range today. Outstanding!!! Optical clarity is unbelievable and rangefinder accuracy is perfect. Quick offhand measurement of 1000 yard 12x24" plate yielded a prompt response of 914 meters! At 10x I could see every hit on every plate at the range including the 10" circle and 6" square at 1000 yards (furthest distance) with no distortion. Have not delved into the ballistic programs yet, since my 6.5 Creed system is pretty doped out well, but I'm sure they will preform at the same exemplary standards that Leica is known for and has proven to me. Besides shooting, I have been finding myself trying to use these binos everywhere. Now every time I drive by a beautiful nature scene I'll find an excuse to see whats going on in the river or how far a tree is!! Thanks to Leica for their life enhancing optics and Eurooptic for the great deal and fast shipping!!

These are very clear & very sharp rangefinding binoculars. They come with a nice case to carry them in as well as a shoulder harness to wear while using them. These are not cheap by any means. But...the field of view is excellent and the reduced eye strain compared to looking through a single eyed rangefinder when hunting during low light is almost worth it.
If they were just binoculars, the money MIGHT be better spent elsewhere as there are very nice binoculars for less money. That said, they are not. They have a fairly quick rangefinding capability as well as many ballistic features that I personally do not use at this time. They also allow the use of an internal memory card for updating those ballistics. This capability puts them in a league of their own!
If you are even contemplating buying these for the money required to do so, you should do it. Eurooptic is always fast, affordable, and easy to work with.

I bought these on clearance once the 3000yd model came out a year or so ago and have been in awe ever since. I rarely need range capabilities hunting under 300yds but in spotting it does a great job well over 1000yds. The glass is amazing and combined with my 3-15x56 Leica rifle scope, I can easily see past legal hunting light in all but the darkest woods. As others have said, start saving your money and treat yourself to an awesome visual experience. Eurooptic was great to buy from as well.

This is my third pair of high and now higher end bino's. I was very excited to put the range finder in the bino and wrap it all up in one. Euro Optic and the ordering process is great, zero complaints of any kind.
The binoculars are also very good, I had high expectations for them and they met my expectations. I was so glad that they gave me the clarity I wanted. I have some other good glass, but over time I am sure to find they will be the top end. I like the feel of the barrels, and hand holds etc. The range finder and the other temp and humidity are cool to and I hope I learn to use the ballistics stuff, right now they have made it a bit too cumbersome to do unless you immerse yourself in the whole programming.
The whole harness things is quite adequate and you need to decide if you get a real protective harness from Badlands or Kuiu or etc. So the only real complaint is if you are someone who wears your binoculars all the time on a harness, and not a padded harness but standard shoulder harness because you like to throw your glass up all the time. If your a north woods hunter and climb in and out of trees and thru bush, and if your a western hunter and crawl through bush and deal with dust, you will find that a multiple thousand dollar binocular has 20 cent lens covers and it's a bit concerning. The Diopter covers are not deep enough and may not stay on well and the object lens covers are so cheap and won't stay on that it will frustrate you. I'm not turning back, love em, use when shooting the bow at practice or other wise just out scouting. This combo is the best all around combo that it claims to be and I'm glad to have it. Hope they hold up well.

Great glass! Can’t wait to use it on a hunt but am using it in the woods and fields at home. Rangefinder is really convenient and easy to use as well.

Great Product. Ranged 1700 yards out of the box by hand.
No problems yet. Would buy again.

The most vivid clarity I've seen in optics, the image is simply stunning. The range finding capability is fast, reliable and accurate. If you are searching for a great pair of bino's with a laser range finding capability, look no further. Very ergonomic, well built and surprisingly light weight for the quality of glass.

What can I say...the Leica Geovid 10x42 HD-B Edition 2200 Rangefinding binos are awesome! Haven't put them to the full test yet, but the glass is amazingly clear. Can't wait for spring bear season!

I bought these binoculars a few weeks ago and can't put them down. It's especially nice having the built in rangefinder. No more reaching for the rangefinder and putting down the binoculars. Very clear vision through the woods. I couldn't be more happy with my investment.

Matched them up against Swarovski 10X42 el range, no difference, added 1K less, offhand ranges out to 1000 yards plus. In the rain Swarovski el would read out to 500 yards, Leica out to 550. The TBR feature works very well. I did have trouble loading the micro card and getting it working. Temperature and barometric work great.

Right out of the box I got a handheld off a distant mountain of 1934yds. The optics are good enough to see tree branches and the color of the shorts the hikers were wearing at that distance. I have ranged out to 2160 with them supported. So far I am very happy
