[QUOTE="Hard Cast, post: 1656491, member: 69073"] C.O. Shooter, I went through a similar thought process a couple of years ago. I chose to sell the Leica range finder and purchased Geovid 8x42 so that I could carry one combo bino/range finding unit with shooting solutions included. I have mixed feelings about my choice yet I can't ignore the benefits of my decision. I’ll explain. I really don’t like carrying the extra weight of the Geovids (I carry them on my chest and they are pretty heavy) yet I must admit that I use them way more than I ever did when I carried binos and range finder separately. I now glass for long periods of time because the glass is so nice and I find myself constantly ranging objects at distance because this range finder is the only one that I have owned - and I have owned several including a couple of other Leicas, that actually ranges further than advertised. So, like everything in life, there is no perfect solution. I suppose a guy just needs to decide what values are most important to him. [/QUOTE]
