[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1014902, member: 2736"] +1 This sounds like the ford verses Chevy debate to me. I don't have any experience with high end range finders, but I have used the entre level ones and found them lacking (For My Uses). I started with a Bushnell 400 and thought it was great compared to the old mechanical (With mirrors) but soon found I needed something more accurate and something that would range past 350yards consistently. So I bought the Bushnell 800. It was better than the 400 but would only range to 500 to 600 with any consistency. Next came a very nice Leupold with lots of bells and whistles and it did lots of things (almost an information overload to an old school hunter) it would range past 800 yards (Most of the time) And even had a program for Bow hunting distance and trajectories. But again, for True long distance accuracy there had to be something that was simple to operate, very accurate (Every time) , would go to 1400 to 1500 yards every time. and would compute accurate ballistic shooting solutions for all conditions. Having researched all of the available Range finders (That I could afford and some that I couldn't) and with the features that I wanted, I zeroed in on two range finders above $800.00 that had possibilities. Then I talked to as many people with both and read all of the reviews I could find on them. I was trained using MOA and shooting iron sites, so I am very comfortable with the MOA method. Everything I have is in MOA from the ballistic tables, scope turrets , to even the scope bases so it made sense to look for a range finder that was formatted using this method because I think in inches, feet, yards, and MOA, Not meters. All Range finders Have there shortcomings unless you have unlimited funds to spend, so look at what you want and expect from a range finder and buy the one that best suits YOUR needs and budget and It will probably be the best ''Range finder period" as far as you are concerned. I made my choice, based on what I wanted it to do for me. I don't care how it does it as long as the information is accurate and consistent and in usable data for me to use, and so far I am very pleased and convinced that it will do what I want and need. Is it the Best Period, Only Time will tell Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
