[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1577746, member: 4809"] To the OP: To my mind, how far a rangefinder can range is way down on my priority list. Most rangefinders can range farther than we can shoot when conditions are optimal. If you are like me, the trophy buck/bull always seems to present itself when conditions are far less than ideal. Some things to keep in mind: Can the rangefinder still function and give reliable results at shootable distances when there is rain or mist in the air? Does it have a smaller-than-normal beam divergence to lessen the chance of picking up an errant, unintended target that is in your line of sight. How does it perform in flat terrain where sagebrush covers over half the deer/antelope you want to shoot? (Most will give you a false reading). Does it carry well? Fit in a pocket or easily stowed when not in use? Does it have a good warranty and customer service? I think you will find that these items will carry greater weight in the long run than how far they can range. [/QUOTE]
