X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

Here's my take on it. Also includes various mounting options from RRS or Area 419.

Lots of images, 10x42 EU version and 12x42 US version, with range extenders.

The latest firmware update seems to have solved the few issues I had with displaying mrad vs moa and the incorrect profile being shown as selected.

Pretty happy with the response from vectronix switzerland on the fix, was surprised they actually gave me a detailed response to the issue and updated me when they pushed the update to fix it.

I’ve had the 10x42 SMR version out in the field a few mornings now. The glass has accurate color and good resolution - very pleased with the glass overall. The buttons are a little strange to get used to, but after using them for a few hours, they became more natural and not much problem now. Getting the reticle and HUD diopter set correctly to have them in focus with the image took me some time and doesn’t work well inside 100 yds in my experience. Past 100 yds I can get the reticle, HUD and image all clear and easy to read quickly. When set like this the depth of field is very good and rarely needs adjusting. I did not have the issue with my focus knob that others have had - there is a little play but I only notice it if I’m trying to. It took some time getting used to the black aiming reticle instead of an illuminated reticle. In the SMR model, the lower measuring reticle is about useless because it’s never in focus with the aiming reticle/HUD and requires changing diopter to get it clear with the image downrange, at least for my eyes. I personally don’t mind this because I wanted more open FOV and don’t intend on using the lower reticle anyway. The etched aiming reticle provides enough detail for the milling I will be doing. The DMR reticles are much higher in the image and look like they are the better choice if you want to mil targets and spot with measurements. The AB solver in the Vector gives you the option for “-:30” options on wind direction which mattered to me - Revic and Sigs only do full hour increments for wind direction is my understanding. Changing wing direction and value is quick and easy in the menu. Overall, I really like them for glass quality and solver capability which were my two priorities. I could do a version with illuminated reticle, no milling grid, and ability to collimate the laser to the reticle and they’d be ideal.

Great article! Where did Vectronix send you binoculars from ? From the US or Europe ?
