Anyone have experience with all or a few of these pros /cons.
Revic has a good sale right now so might be hard to beat for that price but concerned about glass quality.
Vector X is new (model) and a few in classifieds (brand new) kinda concerning.
My top pic right now is the leica Pro + but dang they ain't cheap, but there's probably a reason why.
Any insight, experience info appreciated.
 
This is a really good video. Just out a couple of days ago.

The Vector X does not have an illuminated reticle when ranging. I haven't made up my mind if that makes it not useable for hunting. I was all set on the 12x SMR. Not sure now.

I've never looked through any of these so I don't have any advice. I have been told that there is hardly any difference in glass quality between the Revic and SIG 10kGEN2. The Vector X has a bit better glass.

I am shopping right now too and can't decide even with the Revic sale price.

I have had a 12x42 Vector X since September.The ranging is great. The glass is really good, including low light performance. I would prefer an illuminated reticle( optional) like the PLRF 10. I have hunted whitetails since October 19 almost every day and have not had any problems ranging in low light and the ranges are correct. The objective covers suck. They fall off so regularly that I took them off. If you focus the right diopter correctly, you can still range in very low light.

So I own the Leica Pros and like them very much. A couple reasons ranked in order of importance for me personally. First glass is very good no off color hues like some of the others. Second they use AB which is my favorite ballistic engine and AB just came out with an all new App which integrates directly into the Bino's. No more special Leica app. If you paid for the elite AB app you get Elite for free on your Binos now which is nice as you get every feature they offer which delivers the best ballistic solution. Third they range deer size game as far as I would ever shoot an animal, 1000 yards or so. They range farther on more highly reflective targets also.

Thanks for posting this video. I don't know how i missed it. But I am now even more so getting the Sig 10k gen2 than I was before.
Watching the video I was leaning more towards the sig even before the last 2 points. But with those last 2 points makes the vector x a non option for me.
I was already leaning towards the sig now it's confirmed.

Thx for posting that video.

Yes that sale makes one want to jump on it. Curious if they have a new model coming out and trying to dump inventory? Tough to make a decision without being able to check em out..
 
I don't own the Revic or Vector.
But I do have the Leica Pro AB+ and the Sig Gen2's. I've played with the Swaro TA but not enough to give a super fair comparison as far as the range finder goes. At the time I was more focused on glass.
If you are a match or steal shooter, absolutely the Gen2 Kilos. If you are a hunter first and mostly use for hunting, then the Leica Pro AB. I kind of need to go back on my word on a few of my earlier post. The Gen 2's glass still doesn't compare to the Leica's. And it's noticeable. Especially at low light. The build quality of the Sigs is still lacking. The eye cups are terrible. Not as bad as the Gen 1's though. And the rubber armor kind of floats off the binos and can feel kinda flimsy.
But their range finder is absolutely the best in every way in my opinion.
