[QUOTE="moosehunter, post: 254509, member: 528"] Well my wife begged me not to get a rangefinder for myself. As she is a total sweetheart and my aimis to please her I thought her request was strange but I did as asked and didnt buy one. Her reason became apparent x-mas morning when there was a Bushnell 1500ARC under the tree. She had already bought one for me when she heard me speak on getting one. Now get this. On a sunny day this unit ranged tree lines of pine past 1600yds. It took several attempts on a buffalo into the setting sun to get a reading of 944yds. Later in the week my buddy and his Leica 1200 with a fresh battery went out to play. The Leica wouldnt range a building past 1500yds and the Bushnell would do it to 1700 and some change. The Leica wouldnt range a tree line past 1350yds. Aiming at black cows and horsed the Bushnell would range quickly and dependably to 944yds. Not 945. When the animal took one more step the unit couldnt get a reading. The Leica lost rangeing ability on the same animal just past 800yds. The Bushnell would range leafless willow patches just 1K and the Leica wouldnt touch them after 600yds. Optics on the Leica are a tad better for sure but the Bushnell is plenty clear and bright. Hopefully Bushnell has improved on the unit and this one isnt just a mid week machine. Iknow Im sure pleased with it. [/QUOTE]
