[QUOTE="Montucky Roamer, post: 1500534, member: 100692"] I ended up with a Leupold 2800. Wow, easily ranges trees or ground anywhere...something have to look for anything special or reflective...instant returns in the 1400-1800 range. Ranged deer easily from 1200-1400 so far...hard to laser further without tripod, I was just bracing off stuff... Opposite ridges, hit trees and rocks out to 22something which is about the limit it seems. Also ranged a tree right near a bull elk , wayy below us at 2160, then a ridge between at about a 1000...so we new that it was still too far from that ridge before we even started a stalk. All this was in bright sun, clear skies. Still need more testing with precip in the air...I dont plan to shoot animals beyond maybe 800, but I want all the laser horsepower I can get to have better odds of ranging in bad weather. I also returned a 12 year old leupy Rx 4 I think...way out of warranty...they covered 60% towards a new one. So I got the 1600 coming for back up. Anyway...if I was to upgrade...I'd go straight to a g7 or sig2400ab and get the real ballistic solver. Anyway, a couple buddies have Leica 2000b, they r very nice too although the 2800 was definitely ranging further with greater ease. So time will tell if the Leupold holds up and such. Happy at this point. Just wanted to throw some feedback out there since it was limited earlier... [/QUOTE]
