[QUOTE="R. Cram, post: 2899269, member: 116633"] WE used to hunt Fort Peck a lot in Montana for deer and before bino's were combined with rangefinders as soon as I saw one I got a leupold model ,this was probably 25 years ago and the model I got was the biggest piece of junk I ever had horrible optics and a rangefinder that was luck to reach out to 300 yds. I went back to my bushnell rangefinder that was bulky but claimed 1000 yds and would get that often. Very rairly it would get readings farther. I got tired of the bulkyness so I got a leupold 1000yd rangefinder that was nice and small, would almost fit in a pocket, and had more features than I could operate. Another piece of junk, it was reliable to about 400 yds most of the time it would not give you a reading after that, I should have returned it to the company but I traded it off to a buddy for his use bow hunting and went back to the very good bushnells, then bushnell came out with a combination unit, bino's and rangefinder in one package if I remember right about 16 years ago for about 600$ and I got one, the optics are not perfect but plenty good enough and the rangefinder like the old one I had works out to 1000yds very often I think we have gotten readings 1150 or so,I've got that same pair and my grandsons have beat it up a little so I got another pair because I liked them so much. they are economical and if you don't tell the critters you kill using them they were just bushnells the dead animals won't know the difference [/QUOTE]
