[QUOTE="W.t.ewing, post: 1612000, member: 109660"] Owlman is right.It all boils down to your application and degree of importance. In optics you get what you pay for. The Zeiss at $3500-$3800 is wonderful if you need the best optical quality and rangefinding capabilities. The only thing it doesn't do is synch up with a Kestral for wind. Now I may get in trouble here but I don't see how the Kestral can measure the wind out at 800-1000 yards. If you popped smoke at 5-6-8-and 1000 yards for example you may see the wind moving right, left..straight up etc at different distances. The best way to judge wind is using your optics like a spotting scope and reading the mirages. Few can ever master wind and the ones who come close spend many many hours and thousands of rounds doing so. So back to the original point. If you are a hunter/competitor who requires the best and/or a professional than an optic like a Zeiss would be practical..Or you have a lot of money and just want the best.. Otherwise there are many instruments out there that can get the job done. [/QUOTE]
