[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 261118, member: 14204"] WOW! Excellent crossfeed ... very informative. I too am in the market for (my first) rangefinder. My local sports store can't keep the Leicas on their shelf so I was not able to try them ... just the Swaro and the Zeiss. IMHO, the Swaro has slight advantage optically. But I do like the feel of the new Zeiss 8X26 PRF, it has built in ballistic information system (BIS)/holdover. Took the Zeiss out of the store for a test and range a target @ 895 yds on a cloudy Montana day ... I was too shaky to range farther/smaller objects :D. One of the asst managers field tested all 3 and he recommends the new Zeiss. Just wondering if others have personal experience or have considered the Zeiss. I have a few months to decide before I buy. ADDED: Beam divergence: ~ .4 x 2 mrad Measuring time: ~ 1.5s max Thanks!
