[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 703037, member: 1940"] Thanks for your input Broz. I once read that one should figure on about 66% of a rangefinders advertised capability as a good working distance. That would suggest the G7 should have a realistic using range of 1320 yds. That fits my experience with it pretty well. Once I get out past that it begins to be more difficult to get readings. When I was trying to range a marmot at around 1400 on a featureless grassy hillside, I had to go to a pile of rocks first, then was able to get a read when I mounted the unit on a tripod. Trying to range those 1600 yard targets is very dependent on lighting and, I am guessing, target reflectivity. I am going to try G7's little hand computer next year. If the capability of the 7 rem mag and 180 gr Berger VLD proves to be much more than 1400 yards I'll have to add a Vectronix unit, but I'll still keep the G7 for big game hunting because it has been very accurate and fast for me.
