free bump because like others have said, this is a great rifle at a phenomenal price

late to the train here, but had to chime in my congrats as well! Nice storytelling, thanks for taking along for the ride...

Do you need ballistic solutions or mainly interested in the rangefinding? I recently sold my Leica Geovid HD-B 2200s in 10x42 and got the GPO Rangeguide in 8x32. I found I wasn't really using the ballistic solver in the Leicas. I prefer a separate ballistic solver app. While I have zero complaints about them, they are great binos obviously, I just thought I could "downsize" without giving up much of what I actually needed them for and free up those funds for other priorities. I'm happy with the glass and image quality in the Rangeguides. My only quibble is with the eyecups; I do not wear glasses so I twist the eyecups all the way out. They want to collapse a bit, so I just put some rubber bands around them to provide more resistance and that works fine. They're also about 10 oz less to carry. Also part of why I switched. I find it calculates ranges extremely quickly.
