Rangers Vs Beretta competition Evo glasses

wildoliver · Apr 11, 2024

Looking for a bit of advice really, currently have some classic rangers which I like other than they are too small for me (arms are too short and the wire loops are uncomfortable to wear for long).

I've got 2 choices. Sell the rangers or give them to my wife, and buy another frame and the lenses I actually want as I'd want 2-3 different lenses anyway from what I have.

Or I buy the Beretta competition evos in ruthenium which I prefer the look of and they do some lenses I very much like.

Has anyone got the Beretta glasses and how do you find them?

Is there no way to snip the arms in half and jerryrig an extension, if you like them? Looks being secondary to performance and such...

I went the Pilla route after a stint with a way cheaper alternative, but was lucky to have been offered some S/H lenses at Decathlon prices. Evens out the overall cost, which is still high for some nicely coated bits of plastic. That said, I generally excuse my own indulgences with the buy-once-cry-once theorem

A friend has the Beretta interchangeables - decent enough, but wouldn't trade with him. Can't comment on the rangers but have seen positive reviews here.

Both me and Mrs Jasper have ranger falcon pro. Hers are small 64mm. Mine large 72mm. Both have the bayonet arms. Not loops. We both love them. Mrs recently lost hers . And bought another set of frames ASAP. Service direct from randolph engineering to UK superb. Nice variety of lens colours, easily explained. Not super confusing as per pilla.

I don't really fancy modifying them to be honest, I think it would look a bit jack duckworth!

I bought the Laksen interchangeable glasses in a sale for £260 ish. Lenses are nice and clear and they're light as a feather. I like the style and the fact I get 5 lenses as standard though I'm not so sure on the longevity of them, time will tell.
