[QUOTE="TyIdaho, post: 338209, member: 14736"] I think the range you are going to shoot and your budget need to enter the equation. My budget is VERY tight, and with my abilities and my rifle I do not feel comfortable past 800 yards, so after a lot of research I decided to try the Bushnell Elite 1500 and I am very pleased with it. I have never used any other range finder so can not compare, but I can tell you that this unit will reliably range to well beyond my self-imposed 800 yard limit. The farthest I have ranged is 1380 yards to a small fir tree, it would not get a reading on a granite face right next to the tree, but the rock face was on the north side of a hill and looked to have some moss on it, maybe that's why. 1100 yards is common place to fir tree's, 900 to 1000 yards in rain light snow no problem, fog is a killer though, if I can make out some detail in the tree limbs it will usually range it but just a little more fog and it quits altogether, just shows something silly like 9 yards. For my needs this unit is excellent, and I paid $233 used on eBay!! [/QUOTE]
