## Description

The RECCE Pro HD delivers high-end optical performance, extreme durability, and practical functionality, all in a lightweight, compact, easy-to-carry package. Once focused, single hand operation allows for discrete observation and keeps your off-hand free for other tasks. The integrated carry clip attaches to webbing or other flat-edged surfaces for quick access, and the included MOLLE pouch attaches to standard kit. Tethered flip caps won’t get lost and protect exterior optical surfaces. HD optical system, fully multi-coated with XR anti-reflective coatings, delivers tack-sharp views. The winged fold-down eyecup protects against blowing grit and blocks view-degrading side light.

Review: Very happy with my purchase! - Just bought the recce pro hd and first impressions were great. Totally worth it in my opinion. That being said if you’re reading this you’re probably like me and read the other reviews as well. One of the reviews I read kinda tried to throw this optic under the bus lol. They sounded very opinionated so I had to see for myself about the performance and ergonomics of this monocular. So far so good lol the pouch fits the monocular with ease(I think they were trying to do something a** backwards lol), and you could easily manipulate it with one hand lol the clip is in a fine position unless you’re a (in my nice voice) prissy pants lol it’ll be located under your thumb, so if your having a issue don’t grab it like you’re trying to break it. Alternatively you could wear gloves if your kong fu grip is to serious lol as for the ring tightness, they are a bit stiff but if you’ve owned vortex optics before you should already have a idea of how these feel. The glass is extremely clear and exceeded my expectations. I love the radical and the placement of it. The silhouettes make range guestimation easier. The crosshairs are nice for making corrections on paper. I’m also a fan of the crosshairs being offset. The upper right portion of the monocular gives you a clear and unobstructed view of your target. They also have the look and feel of something that can take a beating. I would recommend this for duty use. All and all I think that these were the best choice for me. Will update if anything changes but I do like the quality to say the least and you can’t beat the Vortex VIP warranty.
Review: Good monocular - not a disappointment. - A well built and rugged unit. While it's no Swarovski, at this price point the glass is excellent. There is a slight bias toward the reds - looking at a white surface through the unit vs viewing same surface via naked eye, there is a very slight pinkish tone. Without making the direct comparison, this bias is not noticeable. It's for quick peeks at stuff, not for spending a day bird-watching. :-) Haven't had a chance to check the reticule against a known size object at known distance yet, but I'm sure it fine. Reticule offset to the left so it doesn't interfere with field of view when one is not using the unit for ranging. Focus rings are quite stiff (both reticule and view focus). I suspect this is a by product of the seals. Better to have seals that will not fail vs very easy to move focus with seals that will end up leaking with use. The lens covers are a nice touch. The rubber eyepiece rotates so one that is left eye dominant can use it with the left eye. This unit will live in the console of my truck for viewing stuff at a distance when I feel the need or in the range back for viewing groups. My Swaro binos are both two damn big (and expensive) to toss in my truck for casual peeks at a distant item.

## Features

- The Recce Pro HD is a tactical monocular with 8x magnification and a 32mm objectives lens. A mil-based reticle with quick-ranging silhouettes assists with range estimation, calling shots, and other reconassaince work.
- The Recce Pro generates bright, sharp high definition images with its high density, extra-low dispersion glass and XR anti-reflective coatings. The flared eyecup blocks extraneous light and folds down for use with glasses.

- The versatile utility clip securely attaches to pack webbing or pocket edges for quick access. The unit also comes with a MOLLE/PALS compatible pouch.
- Textured rubber armor improves your grip and enhances durability while Armortek coatings protect your lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt. Fully waterproof and fogproof this unit can be used anywhere for any mission.
- Backed by our unlimited, unconditional, lifetime, VIP Warranty. A fully transferable promise to repair or replace your item if it becomes damaged/defective. Does not cover loss, theft, deliberate damage or cosmetic damage that doesn't hinder performance.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it float if dropped in water?**
A: It would disappear faster than the titanic. It's very stout and heavy. Well built

**Q: Is the optical performance good? Is the edge of the image circle blurry, distorted? How much of the center of the image is sharp?**
A: There is no perimeter blur and no distortion. I bought this version for the gas filled optics and not necessarily the mil for reticle , although it will be useful.

**Q: Is this HD version any better than the cheaper 8x36 monocular?**
A: Glass is much clearer

**Q: Can you see at night with them**
A: No, it is just a regular scope. No night vision or thermal capabilities

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Compact Monocular
*by D***N on March 24, 2024*

This is a great product. I purposely looked for a Japanese-manufactured rather than a Chinese-manufactured monocular, and the clarity is excellent. I wanted something very compact that could be used for birding and hunting, and this perfect for both.
