[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1270478, member: 4566"] 600 yds is a chip shot for most rangefinders today. I would guess any of the ones mentioned will get there. If you aren't going to use it for longer ranges you may be wasting some $$$ by going higher end BUT rangefinders are a BUY ONCE CRY ONCE kinda deal. A RF that wont do what you want is WORTHLESS. Sounds like you don't need a G7 but a rangefinder is a YES/NO proposition. A scope may be a tad clearer or less than another but both will work. A RF either gives you a # or it doesn't. I would look at one of the older Leica 800 or 1200s. Dead nuts reliable AND easy to use I sold mine for a Swarov 1500 and every time I pull out the Swarov I also kick myself in the nuts for selling the Leica. Yeah the Swarov will range FURTHER, SOMETIMES but its clunky and hard to use. As with any optics question I would counsel you to go to a store that has them and TRY THEM OUT. With RFs even a different unit of the same model CAN work differently. Take and test them and buy the one you tested. Lots more going on in a RF than a pair of binos. [/QUOTE]
