[QUOTE="jonoMT, post: 259021, member: 9463"] Re LRFs: Beam divergence isn't everything. Form factor and glass play a part as well as price. I ended up getting a Swaro rangefinder (and have loved it) a few months ago. However, I was able to get it new for $839 and now I see it listed for $999! No way would I have paid that premium over the next likely choice at the time - the Leica CRF 1200. One thing I really do like about the Swaro LRF is the larger objective. I have been out glassing/ranging deer around here at twilight and have determined that these will work fine to replace binos. A couple weeks ago, I also got to look through some Swaro 10x42 binos and, to my eyes, the SLC glass in the monocular LRF was just as good.
