[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1495991, member: 2736"] I would recommend that First you decide what you expect from a LRF Based on your needs and the maximum range you intend to use it and then evaluate what you need to fill these requirements. Keep in mind that if a LRF has a maximum range of 1000 yards, most of the time due to conditions it may only give decent results to around 800 yards. This is common to all LRFs. and the ratings are normally for ideal conditions. If you plan on getting good service at 1500 yards, I would recommend something with a 2000 yard rating. If you want something in this range, there are lots of LRFs that can fill your needs, that don't cost an arm and a leg. Look at the size and features and decide what best fits your needs. The next step In price is the ballistic LRFs. and they can be very expensive, but with proper programming can minimize time and increase good shot placement percentages. So in the long run, improve the success and cost (More bang for the buck). There are 2 or 3 of these types of LRFs that are very good and it becomes a matter of choice as to which one has the features you Need for the cost you can afford. I have owned 5 different range finders, starting with mechanical and ending up with a ballistic LRF and I wish they were available when I first started using them instead of Mil Dots In the scope. (I could have saved you lots of money and only owned one). There are lots of low end range finders so don't let the price guide you. Buy the best you can afford or even split the cost with your Girlfriend and get the best you can. Just My recommendation J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
