[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 17885, member: 458"] I am positive that they vary from unit to unit. I have a Bushnell Compact 600 (that I really detest btw). While in Alaska a few years ago my partner had the exact same model. We stood side by side and ranged objects, his whipped mine on nearly everything over 400 yards. We switched rangefinders and he couldn't get mine to do squat either. He just laughed and said you got smoked. He suggested I contact Bushnell and see if they would replace it or try and improve the model I have. I never bothered as I figured the request would fall on deaf ears. With that said I'm also convinced that some folks are just electronically hexed. I have a long list of electronic gadgets that go haywire in my hands. Here's just a few: Bushnell 800 Compact (worked twice before it fritzed out.) Bushnell Compact 600 (Never has worked very well and just keeps getting worse.) Canon Elura digital camcorder (spent more time in Canon's repair center than it did with me the first year, still doesn't work really well.) Song 35" T.V. (turns it's self on and starts flying through the channels at lightning speed. I think it's possesed or something.) Two different remotes for same-said Sony T.V. (original remote had the first row and random buttons on the second row quit working. Second remote only works when it feels like it.) Canon ElanIIE, (the camera had to be completely rebuilt within a year of buying it. It had been babied the whole time, just went nuts in my hands. Meaning all kinds of lights flashing and spinning through all the modes. Works okay since it was rebuilt though. Not great, but okay.) New Gateway lap top (Went through 2 hard drives in 3 years. The second hard drive only lasted 9 months.) This wouldn't be so bad except for two major things. One we are a very technology dependant society now, so it's pretty hard to avoid. And second, this stuff is expensive! Darn high tuition for learning IMHO. Okay I'm done venting and will get back on topic. However I'm not so sure the rangefinders haven't gone belly up on me because of some kind of weird electro-magnetic field that surrounds me or something. [/QUOTE]
