[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 979034, member: 1521"] Strong opinions. All good opinions. I've limited myself to ~500-600yds for groundhogs and used the 1K Leica for a long time. With it, I could range GHs on sunny days to ~650yds. Worked good for me. I stepped up a few years ago to a geovid for binocular ranging, and while it's huge & heavy I'm happy here as well(easier spotting). I like all the Leicas I agree with Barrelnut. While you're limiting to 500, you can spend money on a better scope, better trigger, reloading components, etc. And there is just no tellin what the best deal in laser ranging will be by the time you've worked your way further. You could get a 1600 then -dirt cheap, while everyone else is chasing 'the best deal'. It's when you get further out that air density differences, coriolis, slope, and spin-drift, need to be accounted for. I have equipment to do it, and started off shooting further out. But 'Hunting' was not as enjoyable with this once the novelty wore off. By limiting myself beneath all this, and adding a few rules to the game, I feel like I've stepped up my game. I'm actually hunting instead of just shooting. [/QUOTE]
