[QUOTE="QuietHunter, post: 2948, member: 808"] I recently picked up a Newcon Optik LRM 1500. I have not used it in hunting situations yet, but have had a lot of fun playing with it. During mid day I ranged a building at 1614 yards and have been able to range trees and such out to 800. I think reliablity for all eye safe laser rangefinders is questionable past 600 yards, but without paying big bucks and / or getting into non eye safe devices, the Newcon seems pretty good. I have not been able to compare it to a Leica, but it is substantially better than the Nikon / Bushnell 800 finders. I will be chasing deer next week and I will try to post my results of using the Newcon under real conditions. BTW - You can easily find the Newcon 1500 for under $300 new. I have seen them as buy it now on ebay for $259. [/QUOTE]
