I've got the 10x42HD-B3000. So far they have been 100% accurate with their built in ballistic program. :dance: Only wish they make them in the 15x56 with ballistic program. :pray: :pray:

These are fairly good prices on 3000 series.

I got the 10x42HD-B 2200 and been pleasant to use. Been 100% accurate and never a false reading. Have not played with the settings that much but will be loading the SD Card soon for the 145gr ELDX. ( Was eyeing out the 3200.com HDB due to being able to use the app to preload your own ballistic data instead of the SD Card )

I found it unusual they did not make them in 15's as they are a good seller especially in vic.

I know the Leica rep really well and he is a Blaser owner also. I had a play with the new 3200 early this year before covid hit. There the ducks guts with that set up. Don't worry Rick knows how good the 15x56's would sell with the ballistic program in them. But is just convincing Lecia to do it and he does try. I would be onto them straight away. :pray: :pray: :pray:

DH338 - I've been chuntering away trying to decide on RF binos for quite a while without making a decision. I like the Lecia functionality vs the more basic utility of the Swaros but worry that the more stuff crammed in the more likelihood of things going sideways and needing to be serviced - and Lecia don't/didn't have the same track record as Swaro for service.... You have played with the new 3200.COM binos? I figure BT is a well tested technology and shouldn't fark up and need fixing.... You found they worked as advertised?

If he we are talking about the same rep he loves his K95 :), meet him in brisbane , great guy to chat with and wealth of knowledge. Gave me a good deal on 2x demo ultravid HD's during a sale at QLD gun exchange many moons ago.

I think the technology is very much the same as the Sig Sauer's BDX technology. The Binos are bluetooth and you just set them up with the leica app. You can have a heap of guns in the library on the app and you just bluetooth the rifle you're going to use. No SD card in this model. It's still only going to give you out to 923 meters thereabouts as it doesn't factor the coriolis effect in. But was doing everything I asked of it when I had a play. But the kicker is, been bluetooth it works fantastically with the Kestrel 5700 elite and will give you as far as the binos can range. The Range finder is better than the one in my 10x42 HD-B3000 as its the latest technology and works much better in bright sunlight. I'm not going to sell my 10x42 HD-B 3000 to up date as where does it stop. If the 15x56 come out with the program I will buy them in a heartbeat.

Swaro RF ELs are ten year old tech. Either current Leica or current Zeiss RF bins are a way better choice.

Although I am not into all the electro tech, I have had a set 8x40 Leica RF (don't remember model, but a while ago) and a couple of Leica stand alone RFs, and I have always been impressed with how well the RF function works compared to some others. I haven't seen the current Zeiss RF in the flesh, but would expect them to be at least equal.

If you are stuck on Swaro, wait till they get around to an update.

Yep, exactly my issue - the Swaros are out of date. I really like their gear but they do not seem to be in a rush to get up to date. I currently use an old mono Leica RF-900 (I think it is). The RF function is great, the optics not so great and a bit limiting now my eyes are getting worse. Perhaps its time I took a deep breath and paid the cash. I do like the addition of BT rather than SD cards, which was also out of date tech.

thanks all

You can bet that an updated RF bin is on the Swaro to do list. Not much except vague rumours seems to leak from the Swaro silo, so who knows ?

Personally I'm quite happy with the slow and steady approach to new product development and release, and with having to wait for something to be properly sorted.

Leica HDB 3000 still utilise the SD Card and released in 2018 so would not make them outdated like the swaros who have fallen behind. One of the issues that could be with the 3200.com is how reliable will the Leica APP be overtime , will it crash and how quick will it be updated. We all know technology is not perfect and is prone to issues.

Even if you go with the 2200 or the 3000 you do not have to use the SD Card. Find your box of ammunition you are using , Look at the back of your ammo box and find what is the bullet drop at the furthest distance available after look at the manual and find one that matches closely to your bullet drop. It will tell you which ballistic curve that setting belongs to and you can preset it for your Leicas.

Beside that get the 3200 :dance: :dance: :dance:

I think this is the 1st review I have seen on the new 3200.COM binos. It's an ok review, would of been nice if he showed how to set the phone app up a little, and also how it works with the Kestrel. But it gives you a bit of an idea.
