GG,
Thanks for the review. It is fantastic to recieve info from a reliable, experienced source. I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these units. I have yet to try an rx4, but was dissapointed with the rest of the line.
The question remains,for me, which rangefinder? I have looked through the bushnells, and leicas. I would like the inclinometer. The bushnell offered the ARC feature, and seemed to have nice optics. I didn't like the rifle mode. You had to choose a ballistic group, then the unit displayed line of sight yardage, incline, and bullet drop based on a "ballistic group". It obviously calculates horizontal distance, just doesn't display it.
I would like to see the rifle mode function exactly as the bow mode, only further. Unless you could input your own ballistic info for your various rifles/loads/etc. I also thought you could use this rangefinder by doing some drop comparison work (or perhaps a cosign chart), and including inches of drop on your drop cards (which I currently don't).
I would be greatly interested in a review of the bushnell 1500 with arc, or any other rangefinder with similar features. Is anyone using this bushnell? Burris? Is there another with the features the leupold is supposed to have, that works??
I am trying to avoid carrying a pda.
