[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 713776, member: 36369"] How well a rangefinder works depends on what type object you're trying to range. Of course reflective targets are what the factories advertise as the maximum range of the rangefinder but I don't usually shoot road signs so I don't pay much attention to advertisements. I had a Bushnell 1500 Elite w/ARC until recently when I sold it to a friend to get the money to buy a Leica 1600 when they went on clearance at Cablea's. I used it for hunting deer and varmints for 3-4 years. It would range a deer's body out to 800 yards if I aimed carefully and he was in good light. Past 800 yards I had to range near by dark objects. The best target for around 1000 yards was a cedar tree. The uniform dark green worked better than any other type tree. I have ranged to just past 1050 yards on a cedar. If you're wanting to range deer out to 1500 yards, buy the Leica. [/QUOTE]
