[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 537988, member: 13632"] Range finders are very terrain and sun sensitive, so if your ranging on flat ground in sun and you want to hit targets like antelope at 800yrds plus it's going to get rugged even with a Leica 1200. If your trying to hit elk on a hillside in the morning I can usually tap one easily out past a 1000yrds even out in the 1200yrd range. Unless you step up to the PLFR, there is some learning curve like if your getting a range how to make sure your getting a range on the animal or the sage brush 60 yrds in front of it, ya your getting an accurate range but of what. The plfr is dead nuts! Do you need one right out of the box not really. Once you start shooting with gear that can perform and you wear a barrel out you'll find out 800 yrds isn't that big of an issue, and that gut shooting something at range is a wind dope or trigger yanking issue not a range issue. If range is blowing your mind wait till you start trying to dope a variable wind, that's the challenge!!! [/QUOTE]
