[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 774272, member: 61747"] I think you have to define easy on wallet and what ranges you wish to achieve. For example my wallet and a 15 year olds might be different, I know my wallet and some guys are here is likely living on two different planets. For shorter ranges Nikon, Leupold, and Bushnell all make good units out to about 600 yards on non-reflective targets. I played with the 1000's in each model and they work fine on reflective. Leica, Swarovski- good out to 1800 yards reflective and I have had non-out to 1400 on bright days. I have the Leica as it seemed to give me the best results overall. I have the 1600B but am not sure the B is needed. G7- pretty awesome. You might go this route for 1500 if you want to use it in place of a palm or ipod. I have an ipod with shooter. Works for me but I have to carry an RF and ipod.....I don't mind I can play with ipod while out hunting and take pictures etc. LOL vectronix?.....never mind Spotters. Well again, wallet size counts. I have a Bushnell Elite HD with ED glass and it is flat aweseome for the money, if you can find one. In our outfitter camp we have Swarovski, Leica, Nikon etc and it runs right with the lower priced units in the those name brands. Vortex and Nikon (mid level) have decent glass in the less than 1500 price range. Cheap spotters are just that, cheap, I have had couple. Konus for example. It worked fine but it was limited. You might look at Brunton HD as well. [/QUOTE]
