[QUOTE="john g duvall, post: 340451, member: 22083"] It was a 22 ton machine called a "compactor" at the land fill about one mile from my back door. Great "hood" that I live in!! I ranged some garbage trucks enroute to the "spot" and had several that came in at about 1620 to 1685. It is 1762 to the very top(a canister) and we got the same reading from a Leica 1200. The Leica read the same which speaks volumes for that product. The difference in range finders is not the beam but the amplitude of power generated from the unit itself. Check it out. It's on the "net". I'm not saying it was easy. You must hold the RF just as steady as you would a rifle scope and the target must deflect the laser beam back to you. I used a tripod. Dirt is the worst as well as water. Trees might work but the best bet is something that can bounce the beam back to your position. Even when using something metalic it is critical to get into a 90 degree or flat trajectory or the beam will deflect elsewhere. I use my Night Force scope and it does well if you are familiar with the math at ranging. You must have a "given height or width" to use the NF scope for ranging. [/QUOTE]
