[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2242237, member: 12443"] Well as for rangefinders, there were very good ones in use during WW1, and the same type was used in WW2. These were used by all the countries involved. Bausch&Lomb made one as well as Barr&Stroud with the latter being easier to use and the most popular with long range hunters in this country for decades. The Carl Zeiss co. made excellent ones for Germany. The Wild co. pronounced (Vild) which is a Swiss company also produced them. Many of these units became available after the war, and long range hunters bought and used them. I still own a Wild unit and it is always in my vehicle when i hunt. Regardless as to which lazer unit you might own dont ever bet anything you dont want to lose by comparing it to any of those units, assuming they are in good condition which many are. If you can see the target regardless of conditions, you will get a range, period, and you wont always do that with even the very best lazers with the possible exception of the military units. As for having (precise) data, that might be fine when your shooting at some type of target, which is what most people are doing. But good luck with that approach when your hunting. [/QUOTE]
