Tract Rangefinding binos

Recently read a write up on the soon to be released Optic from Tract optics. Appears they built a 10x42 or 10x50 Rangefinding bino for their first Gen release. Few videos out by James Eagleman on this new optic. He alludes to the 2nd Gen being a 12 power version possibly in the write up. I don't think he mentioned this is the videos.
 
I have some Vortex Viper 12x50s. Can't let them go from being an excellent optic. They are clearer than the Leupold Santiam BX5 binos I had. I will get the Tract range finding binos tho. They cover the need to have both in one package out West.

If you think the Vipers 12x50's are nice you should look through the Razor 12x50's.... they are on a whole other level, made in Japan. I have spent many many hours behind them glassing all day and they are a joy to use and I have owned Swaros to judge them against and sold them. I do have some Swaro NL PURE 12x now and love them but there is defiantly nothing wrong with the Razor 12x50's. I would mind looking through the TRACT, I hear they make good glass.

The Leupold Santium BX5 were suppose be at the level of the Razor but they didn't impress. Went to the Viper and didn't look back. Have no doubt the Razor is a better optic.
 
The video in the picture is a fast overview of these binos. Sounds like James Eagleman worked with tract on these which in my opinion is a good thing. I know he teaches LR shooting Barbour Creek and knows his way around RF binos with ballistics. Sounds like these will be using Eagle Ballastics not AB. In the video he touches on a few key features and shows how you sync with the app to upload ballistic profiles to the unit. Tract will hold 5 profiles, if you want more that’s not a deal breaker, it takes less than two minutes to override a profile and add whatever profile you like. Your inactive profiles remain on the app and can swapped out in a couple minutes.. The wind feature might be the most attractive feature me, you can range one direction, then range another and the internal compass will adjust for wind direction accordingly. The wind feature looks well thought out and easy to use. They will figure your environmentals.

Im currently using Gen2 Kilo10s which go everywhere with me during hunts, they just work, glass is decent and they simplify things. One of the things I like about them is how easy they are to navigate as far as ballistic profiles. These Tracts sound like they will be just as easy, at least from he shows in the video. The Tracts will have Schott glass. Depending on their price they may gain a good share of a very competitive market. I’ve tried a couple of their scopes and was very happy with quality and price, Im sure these will be similar.

I’d like to try a pair. Also, he mentions the software for you android users that will be ready to go this spring. I would have downloaded a link but my IPad was being stubborn. The video is easy to find on you tube though.

I'll post my review when I get a pair. Been waiting on that android app forever. Hope it shows up soon.
