That’s a great deal for a pair of range finding binos and they will range farther than most will need also. Getting a LRF bino in peoples hands for less is a good thing.

I've never owned a pair of range finding binoculars, and would be interested in knowing if they are challenged by increased range and light conditions like my short range lower power range finder is.

I guess what I'm asking, is how well I could expect them to work at 3000 advertised yards. That seems like a stretch to me. jd

JD I have their 4000 regular rangefinder and have been pretty impressed out to 1800 or so on rocks and such. Like Rob said above these should do any realistic hunting ranges when using them off hand as one would regularly do. I’m betting one mile capable.

The 3000 yards is on reflective targets and I looked and it was around 1800 on non reflective(trees) so I would expect them to be fine on anything up to 1800 yards and longer if reflective. I have a pair of the fury 5000 and I have ranged signs at close to 4000 yards with them.

A pair of LRF binos that can range to just over a mile for a good price is a good thing.

Next question is, how's battery life on this kind of rig? jd

Looks like specs say range:
3000 reflective
1800 Tree
1500 Deer
Vortex’s lifetime VIP warranty is the deal on
binoculars, they have always took care of me.

The problem with most of these is not the ability to range, but in the glass quality. When you are spending hours of use glassing and only a brief period for ranging, then for most hunters they are not worth it. On the other hand of the need is because you can’t hold a mono type steady enough then possibly these are worth it. Been there done that. Just saying.
