[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 15482, member: 34"] Donham The Barr and Strouds, Wilds, and Zeiss are all military Artilery units and the need for up to 20,000 yards or meters was a needed feature in war time. The optical rangefinder from Barr and Stroud, Wild and Zeiss are no longer made. You have to set up and be stationary in one spot to use the 1 meter base optical units unless you take it in to different spots and set up close to your vehical. The military lasers are the top of the line at present for the sportsman unless you want to spend thousands for one that will consistantly range to yardages over 1500 yards. The Vector one is an example. It is still no match for the non-eyesafe military units that are also available from time to time at around $3000.00 plus. Many of us still use the Barr and Stroud optical units that are about 39" long and do a very good job. If your going to reach out to extreme range, you will need one of the optical military units to be sure of the range if you can't afford a real good laser unit. The rangefinders are one of the MOST important tools in the LR hunting sport. About $500.00 will get you a good used Barr and Stroud or Wild. Later DC [/QUOTE]
