[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 230401, member: 12443"] i dont think its a question of comparing the quality of 2 different units. its more of what will work for you for the type of use you need it for. certainly a long range prarie dog hunter in open terrain would be better served with a barr&stroud or similar unit. if your hunting close by your vehicle, again the barr&stroud is as good as it gets. but portable they are not. we have been using a book we made up years ago, of the spots we walk to. using the barr&stroud we ranged various rocks etc. and made up references for all those spots. it works fine for us. we dont take the rangefinder along. its not a perfect situation however. that is where the little lazers pay off. for the most part, we could get by without any rangefinder. we know our spots well enough to get very close. since we always use a spotter anyway, its the piece of equiptment we least need. the same argument and logic can be applied to binnoculars. the large ww2 binnoculars, such as the 20x120 battleship type, or the 10x80 flak glasses, are head and shoulders above as for quality. but for practicality in a hunting situation, a valid argument can be made against them. so again, it comes down to what works for you for your type of use.
