[QUOTE="str8shoot, post: 992319, member: 26034"] While I think the the eliminator might suit your hunting needs, I would not want my main rangefinder mounted on a rifle. What if you want to use another rifle? I don't point guns at things I don't intend to shoot. I range a lot of things I don't intend to shoot. The Leicas are great. The 1000b is probably as much as you need. That Leica will be a far better rangefinder than the "built in" one. I personally think a bdc reticle is the best solution out to 500 yards. You can try that prostaff with a new rangefinder, maybe its all you need. To upgrade the scope, you'd still have $900 in your budget to do that. Any scope near the $900 price range will be great out to 500 yards. Zeiss, Sightron, Vortex, Leupold, whatever you like will be a better scope than the one with a rangefinder "built in". The rangefinder/binos is worth looking into. I think that is a way better place to have a rangefinder than mounted on a rifle... for me anyway. No matter what equipment you use, you need to practice out to the range you intend to shoot. I don't think practicing at 250 yards is good enough to shoot in the field out to 500. Drops need to be varified at the least. Real world, field conditions are generally much more difficult to shoot in than practice. [/QUOTE]
