Here's some comparisons for the glass. 12X NL pure and the Revic. PLEASE NOTE: The Revic has a blue tint in the right ocular, and I'm assuming that for receiving the range or displaying the screen, or both. I didn't even notice it until I took the pictures. And after that I could then see it with my naked eye. But it's nowhere near as "bad" as it appears in the photos. These are just photos taken from my phone, the best that I could line them up for a clear image.

The coating on the Lens is so that the operator can see the Displayed Information better. I have the technical version on the explanation for the "Bluish" Coating somewhere stored in my vast Biological Mass located in the cranium of my head. Just need to get access to it.
What is the 12X NL Pure that you are comparing to the Revic and which Revic?
I want to get the Revic ACURA BLR10b @ $2,800.00 compared to Vortex Fury 5000AB @ $900.00 and Leica Geovid 3200 Com @ $3,666.00
Already have the Geovid, but the 2000 model.
Would love to try the Revic ACURA BLR10b.
Maybe someone will send me one for sport. We are gong to purchase the Fury 5000AB the next few days-waiting for more sales prices.
Is the 12X NL 12 power? That would be nice.
Our RF are 8-42 or 10-42 power and Binos 12X50
Really would like to compare all three together: Revic, Vortex Fury and Leica
Also this technology in all three is how OLD??? When will newer models come out with enhanced features and fixed issues.
Seem like we wait for a model to get tested for a year or two and right after a newer version or model comes out.
I spoke with Vortex on the Fury and that it's two years old with a lot of technology in it already, Is Vortex going to put a newer enhanced model out for late 2023 or beginning of 2024. He told me no new RF Bino that anyone in Vortex knows of.
I think that told me a newer model is in the works and will be out soon. They are already lowering prices which is another hint,
I like the REVIC but at 3X the Fury I will get a Fury for now and compare with the Leica AND HOPEFULLY someone I know will have a Revic so I can test.
My first thoughts are to get the Revic ACURA BLR10b
HUNTNFUL - GOOD LUCK WITH MORE TESTING. YOU GOT ONE HECK OF A BINO RF!!!!!

I am really interested in your testing to see how the glass compares to the NL since I am more interested in sight quality vs ranging capability. Information like your sharing will help a lot of folks in determining if a single unit is the way to go if optical quality is not compromised or go the other right with two components with their specific purpose.

Did Doug actually cut you a deal? When i called a couple weeks ago they quoted me full msrp...
I also am looking forward to your review. I love my BR-4 but would love to just have the bino's to deal with while in the field. Congrats on the new toy buy!

He did. Did you say you found him on LRH? And ask for a sponsor deal?

I could safely say that if you spent the majority of hunting glassing maybe 1500 yards (for deer) and closer, you would have no issues with these Revic binos. I glass a lot and find a lot of deer in that 2000-3000 yard range with the 12X NL's and that makes me hesitant to fully switch to the 10x42's Revics for my mountain hunts.
I glassed a buck in that red circle at 2700 yards and killed him from that red "X" 3 hours later last season. Maybe I would have seen him with the Revic…. But maybe not.

Yes. Must have had the wrong guy answer the phone.

Zeiss also makes their RF bino's in a 10x54. Can't hardly beat 'em for low light. They are bigger of course, but it's worth it to me. They're still the Victory line, so the glass is top notch. The only disappointment I had, was short yardage. I had originally intended to use them for Known 3-D archery tournaments. The accuracy isn't there until you get to 80- 90 yards, then they're on the money. All the ballistics, weather station, etc., work great!
I usually carried a pair of 10's strapped to my chest Swaro 15x56 in my pack with my Sig Kilo RF along side my 10's. I did this as many times I have had shot opportunities that don't allow me the time to get my pack off to get the 15's out for glassing. Recently I looked through some Sig Kilo 6k HD's and was shocked at the clarity. Plan is to carry the 6k HDs on my chest and still have 15's in the pack when hiking into deep country. I'll still keep my separate RF for certain situations but I like being able to combine 2 piece into one. I got these below from Doug also and he cut me a fantastic deal ($799). I've bought numerous items from them over my many years of doing business with them. These Sig have great glass and the software is the same as my RF so all works interchangeably. So far I'm very happy with them.
Did some testing tonight with the 12x42 nl pures and the Revics. Three of us thought the pures were better(and they better be) but the revics did very well. We were looking at 2520yds. There was a green bush with a limb behind it close to the tree line in a clear cut and looked until we couldn't see it anymore. Going to do some more testing. So far pretty impressed. Didn't use the range finder a whole lot but it will get a workout in the coming days.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. I have Meopta 15's in the pack and carry GPO 8x32's with a Kilo 2k. Wanted to consolidate to these in a 10x32. Need to find someone who has them in stock.
