[QUOTE="brian b, post: 78682, member: 2797"] [ QUOTE ] 50bmg: I can’t really speak from personal experience with the Newcons but if you use the search feature you will find that a lot of people were dissatisfied with theirs. You will also find that those of us that have the Swarovski range finders swear by them. They are great and have the typically super Swaro glass. I have ranged just under 2000 yards with mine and Kirby and Shawn have ranged to just over 2000 yards with theirs. The next real step above the Swaros is probably going to be in the $1750.00 - $2500.00 range to get one that will do what you want. You could also go with a Wilde optical range finder if the size isn’t a problem. That would give you the distance and the price is minimal. The big drawback is the size though, since they aren’t really portable hunting units. [/ QUOTE ]I do not necessarily agree with this in one aspect "I have ranged just under 2000 yards with mine" at what a school bus a school house????? I have not seen a commercial laser rangefinder better than the Leica. at 2000yds you need a WILD optical rangefinder or military equipment that you or I will never see. at 2000yards if you are using a commercial laser rangefinder you are ranging the hillside at best , if you are using a WILD optical rangefinder it is big and bulky but you can range the intended target accurately past 2000k, it does not fit in your shirt pocket like a laser but for now it is the only game in town (unless you have a 7 figure salary or your name is jr100bs eeerrr jb1000br) B [/QUOTE]
