[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 45683, member: 8947"] You are absolutely right. The wild rangefinder has a measurement error around 2% at ranges under 2km and up to 5% when you get to 20km. Right in the manual. As good as it is, you are still using your eye to judge when things line up. Throw in the usual error in all measuring devices and 2% is pretty darn good. Odds are 25 to 50m of error is well within specs, at that range. Have you corrected the wild for your eyes? The only way to know more accurately is to use a surveying GPS, fixed line, or Russian laser rangefinder. The best way to know that you have reached 1500yds is simply to shoot further then 1500yds.
