Idahome's Review of Astra Optix HBX1600B Laser 10x42mm Rangefinder Roof Prism Binoculars
I purchased with the hope of them being at least equivalent to what I already have but in one package. I have Nikon Monarch 7 Binocs and V7 Rangefinder.
Clarity, focus, FOV; equal except for range finder on FOV, Astra was obviously better.
Weight too close to notice
Readability of range; Astra had issues, the readings are too light (gray) need to be red or solid black. Nikon are solid black.
Pinpoint range detection; Astra had issues, had to move dot around to get through 4'x4' gap in trees. Trees were 30yards, car was 114yards. Astra kept picking up trees until I moved the dot to the right. Could be big deal if item wanting range for is 40 yards and trees are 30 yards. I may not notice and shoot for 30 yards at a 40 yard target. MISS or wound goes up. Nikon hit accurate every time.
Fit, form, function; equal
Accuracy of range detection; both accurate
If I didn't own the Nikons I would have kept them but due to the issues mentioned I will stick with what I got.
