[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1747795, member: 65338"] Totally agree on the Leica glass. Probably the best glass in rangefinders. However, a person doesnt glass and scan the terrain for game animals with a rangefinder. While good glass is important in a rangefinder, it doesnt have to be the "best" because the animals have more than likely already been located with other optics. I locate my game with 10x42 Leica Noctivid binoculars and a Meopta S2 HD spotting scope. No problem seeing and ranging animals with mid grade LRF glass once I know where the animal or target is located. Nonetheless, it is very nice having good glass in a rangefinder and I do prefer LRFs with top glass even though it is not really required. It is a little disheartening to go from Leica Noctivid and Meopta HD glass while searching for animals to non-HD Nikon glass when ranging. I'm hoping my new Leupold RX-2800 has glass as good as the reviews state. I dont expect it to be quite on par with the Leica 1600 I owned in the past, but if it's close I'll be happy. I definitely expect the Leupold to outshine my Nikon 4K optically. Will see soon enough. [/QUOTE]
