A @Lowlight shipping notification is so far from general public shipping notification. Lol. But hopefully soon us normal people will get one.Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's literally called the Science of Accuracy podcast
Any updates on these? I got to play with the Sig 10K Gen 2 and those are a huge improvement over the Gen 1's.
Not to derail but there’s still some blue in the sigs. Looked at them this weekend. It isn’t nearly as bad, but look through each barrel individually with only 1 eye open and you’ll see it. It was super obvious looking at the top edge of a berm where it met with the skyline this past weekend.
I will wait for what @Lowlight will say about those but for now, PRS use, I am on SIG 3k+kestrel5700e. Possible upgrades I see for me are
1. sig 10k ( keeping the 5700 as wind sensor)
2. Vector-x and then maybe calypso to get an ‘automated’ wind vector)
3. Swaro el range 10x42 to help my old eyes ( and still the kestrel as Ab engine)

Just got my shipping notification from euro optics for my vector x RRS mount
Ya the sticker was covering my addy.

depends. Hunting and do-it-all maybe 10x, PRS IMHO 12x with dual reticle is the way to go, a nice all-in-one (ranging&spotting) solution at least.
as AB engine platform, again it boils down to what you want to do (kestrel or calypso or your beard) to establish a wind 'baseline' measurement, before all the vudoo.
Test units are barely arriving to users in the US. At this rate, I doubt any early preorders will receive theirs in August.
I'm likely getting the 10's. With extenders, 14x42 will have a relatively small exit pupil and the 16.8x42 will have a considerably smaller exit pupil. For the vast majority of binos out there, once you get above ~12x, you want to be looking at 50 or 56 mm objectives for most uses.
For me, even in good lighting conditions, I think I'd have much more eye strain with 12's + extenders. But as mentioned by someone else, I'm looking for a more general use bino with the 10x42 being used the majority of the time, and extenders used pretty infrequently & in good lighting conditions. I'll want to be able to sit and stare through these for hours at a time if needed.
I'd say think about how you are going to use these for 80 - 90% of the time, and buy accordingly. Don't let the 10% dictate.
12x more of the spotter/range finder. I have Leica 8x, Swarovski 10X so this should round out the collection.
JB at Eurooptic says August.......
Big Jim Is getting the 10x with doublers and I have the 12x with doublers
it includes the RRS Mount and the Area419

The Vector X's arrived today. I was hoping to get a look at them but then the AC sprung a leak and derailed my plans. Now it is 4 am and I just finished cleaning up the worst of that mess. Hopefully, I will get to take a look at them tomorrow and see what is in all those little individual black packets. I can't resist posting this though. This velcro patch was the first thing to slide out of what I think is the media kit documentation pouch. Its definitely going on the velcro patch on the bino case.
