[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 561055, member: 9281"] I can see that one really important thing is being missed here. There are "reflective" and "non reflective" ratings for rangefinders. If they call it a 1600, chances are that is it's maximum distance and will be on a hard, reflective surface. On game or other soft targets one might expect to get a max reading of 1300 yards or so. I have not read Bushnell's literature on this, but I'm sure this info is there. I use a Bushnell Elite 1500 and have had it in terrible weather and it has been well used. It doesn't have all of the fancy internal features but it's simple and it just works. I have never had a problem with it, but I also know what is a reasonable expection of what it can/should do. On soft targets is will go 1200 to 1300 yards on an overcast day. On a bright sunny day 1000 to 1100. I'm sure the 1600 would be a great rangefinder if one knows what is a reasonable expectation of it. [/QUOTE]
