Rangefinding binos with built-in ballistics and exceptional smart mapping tools. We tested the Revic Acura BR10 Gen 2 in real hunts and long-range shooting to see if they’re worth it.
If you’ve ever tried to juggle binoculars, a rangefinder, and a dope card while glassing an animal across a wide-open hillside, you already know how fast things can get complicated. We’ve spent years hunting that way, and once we started using rangefinding binoculars, there was no going back. Being able to glass, range, and make confident decisions without taking your eyes off the target changes how you hunt.
Over the past few seasons, we’ve tested several pairs of rangefinding binoculars in real hunting situations. Some have impressed us, some haven’t. When Revic sent over the Acura BR10 Gen 2 rangefinding binoculars, we were genuinely curious to see where they would land—especially with the added promise of built-in ballistics and mapping features. After putting them to work for the past 3–4 months, it was time to find out whether these binoculars actually deliver in the field, or if they’re just another high-dollar optic with more features than most hunters really need.
We met the folks at Revic a few months ago and were genuinely impressed with both their gear and their approach to ballistic solutions. These aren’t just rangefinding binoculars—they also include full ballistic functionality, so there’s a lot to cover.
For a 10x42 binocular with built-in ranging and ballistics, the Acura BR10 Gen 2 is a really good size. They measure 5.7 inches long by 5.2 inches wide (adjustable for eye spacing) and weigh right at 2 lbs, which keeps them compact enough to work well with most bino harnesses.
They feature adjustable eyecups, so you can fine-tune them for your eyes. I run mine all the way in - because I wear glasses - while Adrian-who doesn't-winds hers all the way out. Comfort-wise, Revic nailed the ergonomics. The thumb swells on the bottom make them easy to hold securely, and even with Adrian's smaller hands, she can comfortably reach all the controls on top.
Overall, they’re comfortable, well-balanced, and easy to manage in the field.
Revic advertises the Acura BR10 Gen 2 with ranging distances of 8,000 yards on reflective targets, 2,800 yards on non-reflective targets, and 2,200 yards on game.
Using them is simple—put the reticle on your target and hit the fire button. On a recent trip, we ranged elk at over 2,000 yards and mountain goats at over 1,100 yards. Trees and brush consistently ranged beyond 2,000 yards, although we weren’t able to fully test non-reflective targets between 2,000 and 2,800 yards due to the landscape we were in.
For hunting purposes, that wasn’t an issue. If the binos weren't able to return a range, we knew the target was well beyond ethical shooting distance anyway.
In most conditions, ranging performance was excellent. At a long-range shooting facility, the distances displayed matched known target distances out to one mile. During deer season, we were able to range a treeline at over 250 yards even 15–20 minutes before legal shooting light, which says a lot about low-light performance.
Weather performance was solid as well. On a foggy elk hunt morning, we were able to range trees through fairly thick fog. On a separate foggy, rainy morning, the binos ranged perfectly as long as the target was distinct. When fog washed out detail and even my eyes struggled to see the target, ranging became less consistent—which is understandable.
One standout feature is Raypoint mapping. When connected to the Revic app, you can range a location and automatically drop a pin on your map. This is incredibly useful for:
Calibration is critical here. You must calibrate the compass by selecting "Calibration" and then moving the binoculars in a figure-eight pattern for about 10 seconds until the display shows “pass.” Once calibrated, Raypoint worked perfectly for us. You can use Revic’s map, Google Maps, or sync with OnX.
The Revic Ballistic Engine is where these binoculars really separate themselves from the competition. You set up your rifle and ammo profile in the app and sync it to the binos. This includes zero distance, scope height, twist rate, muzzle velocity (measured with a chronograph is best), BC, bullet weight, and length.
Once synced, ranging a target instantly displays elevation adjustments in MOA or MIL right in the binoculars. We tested this extensively with our Tikka T3x Lite .270, including our one-mile shooting video. Recommended elevation changes were spot-on out to 700 yards, and even at 900 yards, the elevation adjustment was perfect—we simply missed left.
Beyond that, we used Revic’s truing feature to fine-tune the profile, which worked exactly as intended.
Windage is also supported, though it takes a bit more input. You manually set wind speed and direction, and the binoculars display the appropriate left or right adjustment. One thing to note: wind settings reset after a few minutes of inactivity, so you’ll want to double-check the wind before re-ranging.
These binoculars are extremely well built. They’re solid without feeling overly heavy, and the light texturing makes them easy to grip in wet or cold conditions. The Alpha glass is extremely clear, even at long distances—we used iPhone zoom footage to show clarity beyond 2,000 yards (as seen above), and it’s impressive.
They’re nitrogen-filled, waterproof, and fog-proof. The front cap unscrews to accept a tripod adapter, and Revic’s quick-attach adapter works especially well. Independent focus adjustments for both eyes and the display allow you to dial everything in precisely.
Another unique feature is the ability to configure the controls for left- or right-handed use. The display appears in the right eye only, but brightness can be set manually or left on auto, which is what I prefer.
Internally, you’ll find multiple range modes, targeting modes, onboard temperature sensing, and smart-scope compatibility (which we haven’t tested yet). Revic has their own smart scopes that we can't wait to get our hands on and do some testing.
The biggest downside here is the warranty. Revic offers 5 years on optics and 2 years on electronics. For binoculars costing nearly $3,000, we’d expect a stronger warranty.
There aren’t many specific reviews out there yet. Most are very positive, with some complaints about Bluetooth connectivity and mapping accuracy. We haven’t experienced Bluetooth issues, and once properly calibrated, mapping was spot-on.
Q: How far can the Revic Acura BR10 Gen 2 range?
A: Reflective targets up to 8,000 yards, non-reflective targets up to ~2,800 yards, and game around 2,200 yards, depending on visibility.
Q: Can these binoculars provide ballistic adjustments?
A: Yes. You can sync your rifle and ammo profile in the Revic app to get instant elevation and windage corrections when ranging a target.
Q: Are they waterproof and fog-proof?
A: Yes. The Acura BR10 Gen 2 is nitrogen-filled and sealed, making it both fog-proof and waterproof for most weather conditions.
Q: Can I use them with a tripod?
A: Absolutely. They have a removable tripod adapter for stable viewing during long observation sessions.
Q: Do they work with other mapping apps?
A: Yes. You can sync Raypoint pins to the Revic Map, Google Maps, or OnX.
Q: Can I use them with multiple rifles or ammo types?
A: The binoculars can store multiple profiles in the app, but only one profile can be synced to the binos at a time.
Q: How do they perform in bad weather?
A: They work very well as long as the target is visible. Fog and rain may affect clarity, but the ranging function still works if the target can be distinguished.
Q: How heavy are they?
A: They’re a 10x42 form factor, compact and comfortable to hold for extended periods, and fit most binocular harnesses.
As always, it depends.
If you hunt in tight areas where shots rarely exceed 200–300 yards, these are more than you need.
But if you hunt open terrain, spot-and-stalk, or shoot long range, the Acura BR10 Gen 2 can be an incredible tool.
For hunters and shooters who want fast, reliable ranging and ballistic solutions with minimal guesswork, these binoculars can significantly increase confidence and reduce mistakes. Range it, dial it, shoot.
However, the price—nearly $3,000—is the biggest factor. You’ll need to decide if the capability justifies the cost for your style of hunting or shooting. For the right user, absolutely. For others, there may be simpler options that make more sense.
