[QUOTE="Bruce Hanson, post: 18171, member: 1681"] I have had Bushnell 400, 800, then 1000. After dark my 100 Bushnell would do pine trees to 1300 yards, but bright days about 600 yards. The Leica are much better in a snow environment. I had the 100o Bushnell and the 1200 Leica at the same time. While waiting for my wife shopping I went in and purchased the Leica. I sat in a parking lot in Colorado and played with them for three hours. The thing I noticed was I could range to 400 yards through my windshield with the Bushnell, but hardly at all with the Leica. What I think is that there is some difference in wave length (light color of lazer). I think the laser is diffusing in snow when I try to range the Bushnell and only get 200 yards off snow. The Leica would not shoot through glass well, and I think it reflects off snow better because I get 800 yards off snow. I'm not satisfied with that explanation yet, but it's the only thing I can think of so far. Anyway, the Leica take it hands down. [/QUOTE]
