Good monocular - Vortex Recon 15x50 R/T Tactical Monocular

This monocular is carriable being about half the size of a large binocular. Great ranging reticle. Sadly, Vortex no longer offers a ranging reticle on their spotting scopes and their monocular line is all they offer. I opted for the 15 power which needs to be braced for a stable image. I use it on a small tripod. The tripod mount on this unit is 90 degrees off of the preferred orientation for the reticle. Vortex provides a 90 degree adaptor but stability suffered so I just use the reticle canted 90. A tripod thread on the bottom of this monocular would be an awesome improvement. The image is great. Overall, a good value. I am doing target shooting. For hunting the 10 power is probably better suited but I would also look at the Optolyth 10 X 28.
