Delta Titanium RF 9x45 Review – Are These Rangefinding Binoculars Still Worth It in 2025?
Spotting during hunting is the most important thing because...well, you can't shoot what you can't see. The Delta Titanium RF 9x45 solve the issues of the past of having to carry a set of binoculars as well as a rangefinding monocular for distance. With an easy-to-read display, comfortable grip and outstanding glass quality, this unit truly is in a league of its own.
This unit is a few years old now, and there are a few more options now for rangefinding binoculars, so the question begs to be asked...is it still worth it?
Quick Look
The unit is a powerhouse for hunting as it features a 9x magnification and a 45mm objective offering a perfect magnification and objective allowing better viewing and a very wide field of view of 117m at 100m. Minimum focus on this unit is 3.5m, so any close-in work can be done with ease, but even sheep at 1.8km can be seen clearly with a high degree of clarity, impressive for less than £1000. This unit is waterproof at 1m depth for 30 minutes, so any unfortunate tumbles into the lake are not a worry (for the binoculars), and with a weight of 965g, it is lightweight enough to be carried along the highlands for the once in a lifetime hunting for a prized buck. The rangefinder on this unit is no slouch with a range of 2375m (2600yds) and able to measure at angles up to 70 degrees with an adjustable brightness display, 10s auto shutoff so you don't need to look at it if you don't want to and a rapid response time of less than 0.25 seconds.
Rangefinder
The rangefinder on this unit is impressive. It offers a distance of 2375m and can read and interpret the ballistic range of angles up to 70 degrees. An accurate readout is the most important feature of a rangefinder, and this unit delivers, with an accuracy rating of within 1m at distances of 1000m or less and within 2m at distances between 1000-2375m.
Field of View & Magnification
When it comes to field of view and magnification, there are a few important points that are often overlooked. Binoculars are designed primarily for scanning and searching, rather than for high magnification. That’s why they typically have lower power than scopes; the wider view and larger objective lenses allow you to see a broader area while still providing some magnification. This gives you the advantage of spotting and tracking subjects more easily while keeping them closer in view. This particular model offers a field of view of 117 meters at 1,000 meters, which actually surpasses some comparable high-end optics released this year.

Honest Opinion
These binoculars have not faded into irrelevance with age; the features, quality and performance of these binoculars make them a serious contender in today's market, competing with new 2025 models from other high-end manufacturers. My usual test is a field of sheep (when the farmer has them in the right paddock) at 1.8km on a hill with hedges and a small hut nearby, and these binos offer extreme performance, spotting the sheep with excellent clarity and able to see excellent detail in the shadows of the hedges at these extreme distances. If I were looking for a set of high-quality rangefinding binoculars in today's market, these would be at the top of my list.
