I have a pair as well, and think that it is probably one of the smartest purchases I have ever made. If I remember correctly, they are good out to 1300 yds, but I think that would have to be a reflective target.

10x42's are perfect for elk hunting, and they're rated for 1300 yards. Some guys think they're too heavy, but they're actually lighter than the Leica 10x42 BN's and Leica 1200 LRF I used to carry. The beauty of the Geovids is you completely eliminate one piece of equipment, so when you're spotting/stalking, there's no fumbling for a separate rangefinder and going back and forth between it and your binos. The biggest drawback is of course the cost, but if you figure what a premium bino (Swarovski EL's and Leica HD Ultravids are $1,800.00 - $2,000.00) and a good rangefinder (Swarovski Laser-Guide is $850.00-$900.00 and the Leica CRF 1200 is $600.00) cost, they're really not that bad.

Thanks for the information guys , i agree as it eliminates fumbling with the range finder,the only draw back would be if
the range finder stopped working but i already have a range finder.

Where is the best place to buy ??? Cabelas ?? They seem to have great warranty.
Thanks again for the info.

I bought mine from bear basin outfitters, the link is below. But, I think that just about everybody sells them for about the same price. Scott
