[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 539720, member: 3756"] That will be my next rifle scope, the Lord willing, my choice of range finders is the Swaro. One may think that over 1000 yards is to far to be shooting at game but you'll be sorry your range finder doesn't cut it when you are training and getting ready for that special shot. What I mean is I really enjoy to shoot over 1500 yards at rocks later in the afternoon when my Swaro would give me ranges up to 1800 yards + ---- As it cools down to observe the wind an measure the size of a rock using the scope... It's almost like having a cup of coffee and enjoying the afternoon! If a rock appears to be 1/2 MOA at 1500 yards I quickly know it'd be between 7.5 and 8" and it makes it fun! Bottom line, get a range finder that you'll grow with instead of something that will hinder you. Then again buy the best you can afford. Two weekends ago, I was at the range shooting to find a load for my 338-300 RUM using a new powder lot number. I had some ammo left and since I was getting pretty low ES in all my groups I put one through the chronograph and the second one went to a small rock at 1005 yards, the young man, someone I'm teaching to reload, that was spotting for me said you hit high! I said: How high he said: I don't know... I said look at the rock and tell me how many rocks high the impact was at. He said after a while, "One rock high" and the rock was just at .5 MOA now, I was happy. All this to say that it was sunny, hot, bright and many range finders would have not been capable of measuring that distance; I was happy I had the better range finder. Sorry for the long explanation! [/QUOTE]
