[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 600418, member: 12443"] Of course lighting conditions and other factors affect the rangefinders ability to give a reading, we've all seen that with all of them. But their ability to give us a number is not what I was referring to at all. Their ability to give an [B]accurate number[/B] [U]on flat ground when the landscape or vegetation is more reflective than the target[/U] is what this is about.[/QUOTE] well that may be true, especially for those who do primarily hunt fairly flat terrain. i will say this in defence of my swarovski. over the last 2 years ive made two five day trips to montana for prairie dogs. the terrain was fairly flat where i hunted and had typical prairie dog surroundings. i didnt attempt any readings beyond about 650 yds. the sun was bright enough that i came back with a burn. i cant remember a single incident where my unit didnt give satisfactory results. as the distance increases however the realibility of the unit decreases. on some days i cant get a reading on any target regardless of size. it could be a rock as big as your car. nothing comes up. ive tried everything including a tripod. when it works it works well. but on certain days it wont work at all on targets over about 800 yds. ive compared its accuracy with my barr&stroud and wild. the comparisons are close enough for me and usually within a few yards at a 1000 yd range im a member of. so again, you guys debate the technical stuff. all i want is a unit that shows distance and shows up for work every day. i can handle the rest. i would like someone to respond to my earlier question about registration. i am very serious about aquiring a new rangefinder. but the idea of registering it dosent sit well. do the vectronix and or this unit require registration?
