Comparison on 1000 + rangefinders

i've been playing with a newcon2000 for a couple weeks now and with reflective targets it's pretty impressive. today i ranged a big road sign, three times, at 2261 and that was while it was raining. have also ranged them over 2k in bright sunshine. now if i could only get the deer to carry a big road sign around on their back and keep it perpendicular at all times i'd be in great shape!

How far will the Newcon consitently range non reflective targets?

Swaro, had a reading on a barn last year at 1,999yds. Furthest it'd range. I kept ranging this barn and backing up in the truck to see how far I could get a reading.

The furthest I can get with the swaro is 1999 also and that was on a tree. Awesome unit! I had 2 rx4's because I had to return one and then the second one was like looking through a coke bottle.

How far will the Newcon consitently range non reflective targets?

I ranged consistent deers at 1400-1500 yards all the time.
Trees (dark color pines) 1700yards
Post poles (from steaty rest) 1200 yards
The trick with newcon to get this further is Set reading on CODE 8 (best reflective area) and HOLDING THE RANGE BUTTON AND MOVE SLOWLY THE IMAGE LEFT-RIGHT TO GET THE BEST REFLECTIVE AREA AROUND YOUR TARGET.

There is a real difference between ranging anything in view, and ranging ONLY your target. With this I suspect many rangers are more quantity than quality.
