I have an Opti-Logic that will reach past 1000 on cloudy days. Only good to 800 yds on brite sunny days unless it's a big reflective surface, then 1000+. $389

Bushnell Elite 1500. Fully Multi-coated OpticsSeveral modes for different terrain. I have found mine to be very accurate to 800 yards and can range big rocks and solid trees to 1000 yards.

Leica CRF...awesome and compact. I used it all over central Idaho and western Washington the last several months under all conditions and it always ranged 900+. Ranged large rocks and stumps out to 1200+.

Leica 1200 CRF hands down

newcon 2000 pro, consistently gets ranges out to 1300 yards no matter the time of day or how much sunshine. If you search around you can get for under $500.00 with free shipping

finally bought one today, went with the bushnell elite 1500 arc. been playin with it at work, had no problem ranging up to 964 yards at night with a steady snowfall, didnt try anything farther than that. the area is semi-lit, so if it works fine at 9pm, i'm sure it'll work fine in daylight. i work at an airport so i have plenty of distance to work with. can't wait to try it during the day tomorrow

Love my Newcon 2000Pro. Ranged on every situation all the time past 1300-1400yards. My friend got a Leica 1200 and we got hunting deers, and he could not range past 100yards on snowing day.
My Newcon 2000P ranged past 1400yards. He returned the leica back to the store next day.
The other friend got a Bino and rangefinder combo (Leica Geovid 1200) and the same problem (ranging problems on bright days and when is snowing.

Just my experience with leica and newcons. I hope your Bushnell1500 is better.
