The Leicas , the Geovids and monoculars , are acceptable . The Swaro and Zeiss are better which is to say they range at least half again as far and are pretty equal between each other from what I've seen .
The Vectors are THE SHIT and nothing else comes close on the commercial market .
The price range there is from about 400 to 20k . The entry level Vector , the PLRF10 , being around 3K .
I have a pair of Geovids and on the best day 1300 was all that it would range , the other day we were playing with the PLRF10 and were shooting farmhouses reliably at 3k yards . When my Geovids take a dump the PLRF10 is what I'm looking at because it ranges so well . That being said there is a huge advantage to having your laser in your binos in convience and not having to lug more stuff .
Good luck finding something and remember life is too short to buy cheap gear 2 or 3 times instead of buying quality once . Also be prepared to have what ever You choose be outpaced by technology in a couple of years , My Geovids are not near the laser I could get for the same money today as 6 or 8 years ago when I bought them . Aint progress wonderful .
