[QUOTE="JRu, post: 453751, member: 6837"] I have used the LRM 2000 Pro for a couple of years. + cost ( at the time of purchase, no reliable 1.5k+ rangefinders in the $500 range ) + targeting reticle matches the actual beam + good ranging capability in fair conditions: At one of my favourite locations, I've gotten a repeatable 1360yd on cars in front of a cafeteria at 1400 yd, 1800yd on buildings, 1k on small trees, 1300+ on large trees etc. Don't have experience on fur at 500+ unfortunately so can't comment on that. But at least on ground features like rocks and trees, it measures well. - exceptionally poor optics in the monocular, completely worthless in the dark without NV - consumes batteries, including when not in use - fails in cold weather ( measures for a while, then gives a low battery warning and goes silent until warmed back up ) - fails in light snow or fog ( will not measure ) All in all, I don't feel the need to upgrade into another mid-priced monocular model. I would only consider a Zeiss or Leica bino rangefinder worth upgrading into. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
