[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 1062258, member: 55580"] I have to disagree with you on this part. I have a Bushnell rangefinder as well and had to get a Leica simply because the Bushnell wouldn't pick up animals at a good distance. On an antelope hunt the Bushnell couldn't pick up antelope at a range of somewhere between 400 and 700 yards. The only reason I know it was between that was because the Bushnell could pick up bushes at 400 and 700, but not the antelope. Simply put, it is tough to shoot game at long range when your range finder won't pick them up. I have learned that this is one area you don't want to skimp. If you can't get an accurate range, none of the high priced scopes or rifles mean anything. As a side note, I would also recommend using higher grain bullets than 180's in a RUM, but that's just me.
