[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 17883, member: 313"] It would appear that others have had similar experiences (as I had previously mentioned)when comparing the Leica and Bushnell rangefinders. Based on the guys that reported a distint improvement with the Leica, I can only assume that there has been a fair amount of variation, from unit to unit, in the capabilities of one or both of these rangefinders. Manufacturing tolerances may vary more than we realize, or later models may have been improved. Frankly, I liked the Leica a lot better. It was the comparison that made me hold on to the Bushnell and sell the Leica. The guy who bought my Leica is a hunting buddy and he helped me do the comparisons. We periodically hunt vermin together and still get a chance to range the same varmints with the two units. Most of the time they range the same. At times the Bushnell ranges more reliably. However, there were a few times that the Leica would range a target the the Bushnell could not. Typically, I have been able to range much farther on overcast or hazy days. When ranging low reflectance targets on bright sunny days, I'd have to agree that all of the rangfinders that I have used will probably be good for 50%-60% of their rated maximum range. I'd like to borrow someone elses Leica 1200 and compare all three at the same time. Either way, the Bushnell YP 1000 has caused the demise of MANY looong range groundhogs.
