[QUOTE="Donham, post: 15470, member: 1068"] They made just exactly what you are talking about. I have only seen one for sale about 5-8 years ago by Dan Lilja. It was 12" Barr and Stroud that would range up to about 3-5K and it was in yards. Almost bought it and have always kicked myself in the butt for not doing it then. BH WOW, why did he stop making them? I do not mean to pich up a bi+ch, but someone by now should see the $$$$ signs... no one needs a 20,000 yard unit that you need a donky to carry your supliess (rangefinder) around with you.. Even the best of the best ones you can legally buy and use the Lecca LR 1200 unit isn't going to range a coyote sized critter out to 600 yards very easy, unless the weather is with you, no fog, no snow, no sun... Like I had said before, the Ones Darral Cassel and those guys use cost between $3,000 to $10,000 if you can find them... it wouldn't take too much effort for Wind or Barr&Stroud to make one that is 1 ft long.. and ranges only say 3000 yards. it would require less materials, cost less, be much more practicle, portable, no one would by those eye safe lasers anymore, and whoever makes it would become instant millionares over. Dan Lilja, from what you have said, had a great idea, why he stopped is behond me.. imagine a 1 ft long unit that can range to 3000 yard in ANY weather on ANY sized target, and only cost around $350 Even the three to ten thousend doller Russian laser units would have no (ZERO) advantage over this unit.. where do we get ahold of Mr Lilja? ;-) scotty [/QUOTE]
