[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 55294, member: 1459"] No buttons pushed--just want to make sure if you do this, do it right. That wasnt yelling, just emphasis--sorry. I too have used a nikon and bushnell--none of them compare to the leica--my leica 800 stomped a bushy 1000 in my small side-by-side test!! they actually work past where they say--I ranged a treestump in a fence row at 972yds with my leica 800!! on an overcast day--sell the rangefinders you have on ebay and buy yourself a leica--you will not be dissapointed! the 6.5-284 actually should be sufficient for the blacktails, but the 7mm's may be a little better. Judging just isnt the way to go and expect to actually humanely dispatch big critters--that is the only point i was trying to get across--you owe it to them to laser the range to the best of your abilities--I dont think anyone here would disagree with me. To 500yds with a flat shooting round you might be safe, but past that i wouldnt count on it. Im thinking heavy barrel savage in 7mag or WSM [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] JB [/QUOTE]
