[QUOTE="Broz, post: 588968, member: 7503"] COBrad, I have only used the G7 a few times while shooting with someone else that had one. I read where you want to range woodchucks at 1200 yards. The beam divergence on the G7 is much larger than a Swaro 8x30 laserguide. The Swaro's beam is 6' at 1000 yards so the G7 would be like 7 or 8 ft at 1200 yards. I am not a highly educated man. But I have done much research on Rf's and owned Swaros, Leica's, Vectronix and tested the Zeiss. The biggerst down fall with a RF is the large beams pick up something you are not trying to range and the result is an inaccurate distance reading. I am not going to try to tell you not to buy a G7. But will encourage you to study the beam divergences of any unit you are considering and also to take a good long look at the new Vectronix Terripin. This unit is priced in the same price range as the G7. The terripin has a very small accurate beam and new owners are reporting readings to 4000 plus yards. Jeff [/QUOTE]
