ATN Omega 7x50RF Binocular

Comments about ATN Omega 7x50RF Binocular:

I did quite an extensive amount of research on different rangefinders for my upcoming hunting trip this fall. At first like most people, I was looking at electronic rangefinders. There's a few things I didn't like about the electronic rangefinders: They ran on batteries, they didn't seem as heavy duty, it kinda takes the skill out of hunting when it comes to long range shots and the fancy bullet compensators built into electronic rangefinders, and lastly electronic rangefinders often can't range deer at longer ranges. Even 1000 yd rangefinders state that they can only range a deer out to 300 yds, and can only range out to 1000yds when ranging on a reflective object, such as a car or piece of metal. After some research, I decided a manual rangefinder/binocular was the way to go. After recieving my ATN Omega 7 x 50 Binoculars, I quickly learned I had made the right choice. These are some of the most heavy duty binoculars I have ever used. Now, these are not the lightest binoculars ever, but in my opinion you can't make up for the quality and strength in construction. After a few minutes of reading the manual, it's fairly easy to get the hang of how to use the mil scale and range objects (only thing is you need to know the approximate height of the object in meters and you calculate the distance). These binoculars lenses are very versatile, and I was able to view and range objects as close as 20 feet crystal clear out to well over 1000 yds! If you're just birdwatching or going to a concert or sporting event, I recommend getting something smaller and lighter (the weight and size are the only downfall), but if you are an outdoor enthusiast like me, I highly recommend this heavy duty binoculars/rangefinder.

Picked this model for heavy adventure use, meaning bullet proof quality without busting the bank.

Solid pros include: Price, glass clarity, rugged construction, waterproof, generous fov, great eye relief for glasses and excellent range-finding reticle.

Solid cons include: full size binos are heavier/chunkier than roof design, cups could be more snug, makes you look like a Special Ops guy and tough to sling initially (pretty nit picking).

Great value-for-quality, not too bulky to think of using every day, easy to use controls and range finder, don't have to worry about bangs or getting wet, will include this piece of equipment in the Go Bags.

Definitely would purchase again.
