Vortex Recce Pro HD 8x32 Ranging Reticle Monocular with Milliradian Reticle

Vortex Recce Pro HD 8x32 monocular with milliradian reticle

A monocular that allows you to estimate the distance of an object from yourself.

The Vortex Recce Pro HD is the successor to the very popular Vortex Solo monocular . The main difference between the two versions is the Recce Pro HD monocular's ED glass, XR Full Multicoating, and shorter focusing distance. And of course, the reticle mentioned in the title is only found on this Recce.

The monocular is designed for hunters and snipers. In addition, the milliradian reticle is useful when moving around on the water, as the device makes it easier to observe distances. Of course, you can also use the monocular for birdwatching and hiking.

The 8x magnification is more than enough for spotting scopes, and it is less susceptible to hand shake and other vibrations than a higher magnification unit. While 8x magnification is not as high as what hunters may be used to, the advantage of this monocular is its wide field of view (133m at 1000m). The wide field of view makes it easier to locate and track moving targets, and is ideal for scanning large open landscapes when searching for potential targets and animals of interest.

The closest focusing distance here is 1.5 meters , so the monocular is also suitable for viewing butterflies, insects and flowers.

The Recce Pro HD is focused by rotating the focus ring located halfway down the body. The wide focus ring fits comfortably under your index finger when you hold the monocular up to your eye. Focusing from the closest focus distance to infinity requires less than one rotation, so focusing is fast.

The rubberized body increases the impact resistance of the viewer, thus improving the chances of it being saved if accidentally dropped or bumped. The rubberized shell also improves grip, which is an important feature in damp or wet weather, as well as when wearing gloves.

The Recce Pro HD monocular is waterproof. Thanks to the O-ring seals, the body is protected against moisture and dust, making the device waterproof. The seals are also airtight and the interior of the body is filled with Argon gas. This combination prevents fogging of the glass surfaces from the inside, as well as fogging, which often occurs when the temperature changes quickly, such as when going from a warm interior to a cold winter day.

The Vortex Recce Pro HD 8x32 binoculars have an eye relief of 14.5mm. This is sufficient for most users, but if you need or want to wear glasses, the distance may be too short to get a full field of view without black edges with glasses.

MRAD milliradian grid

The Vortex Recce Pro HD monocular features an MRAD (MIll / Milliradian) based reticle that also includes several silhouettes that make it easy to estimate the size and distance of a target. So instead of having to do calculations, you can use the silhouettes to estimate the distance and size of a target.
