Reviews - Vortex Recon R/T Tactical Scope Reviews - VX-SS-RT150

Author: Vortes Recon from Cloud Croft, NM on Apr 8, 2013
Pros:  Size, easy of carry, durability, warrenty, quality, clarity, and light gathering ability.
Cons:  Does not replace a spotting scope or bino's, more of a compromise between the two.
Would recommend:  yes

I bought this after buying and returning two of the new Bushnell tactical monoculars. The R/T functions best as a compact spotting scope. Glassing Bino's are the better option, but to get the better detail or call corrections on shots these excel. These serve as a bridge between binos and a full size spotting scope. Much more convenient for static shooting positions (bench or prone). Easy to call corrections for other shooters or making my own scope adjustments when shooting my 1-4 AR for sighting in. All in all, it is not for everyone, but it is more of a bridge optic.

Pros:  Clear optics good FOV and low light. Expandable and flexible.
Cons:  Two-handed to hold and focus. OK for spotting but slow for stalking. Did not take into field though. Prefer small binos now.
Would recommend:  yes

Excellent quality, but found hard to focus with one hand because tight seals. I think would want hand free for a weapon. Prefer the Viper RT binocular instead, may only use one barrel to keep other eye on sights. Kill flash noticable in low light so remove in that case.
