Vortex Monoculars, Range Finding and Target Identification
Our Vortex sales rep was out here a few weeks ago and showed us some of the Vortex products that we never looked through before. Strike Eagles, Monoculars, Binoculars and Viper PST Sniper Scopes. There are almost always several reticle options for each platform and one of the best things about these optics besides the clarity are the price points. I remember using my Uncle’s 50MM binoculars for star gazing and I also remember using them while boating but they got real heavy over time. If we wanted something smaller, we normally lost a lot of field of view and when you are worried about hitting objects, field of view is very important.
I’ve been on firing ranges enough times to know that it’s always nice to have level of magnified optics with you. Sometimes when I’m shooting iron sights on my AR15, I’ll pick up one of my scope rifles and use that to spot or figure out what my groups might look like. I’ve been setting up my Elite Survival Epsilon shooting mat with several molle pouches and also kept a small pair of binoculars in them. Well the truth of the matter is they work OK when it is sunny out but not so good in low light. These Vortex VORTEX SOLO R/T MONOCULARS are and excellent spotting optic and with the range finding reticle, you can use the hold over, or if you pay attention to the owners manual, use the mathmatical calculations to get ranges. I’ve found it very easy to use, lightweight, has a nice clip feature and doesn’t break the bank like many laser range finders.
