[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 3006432, member: 42494"] One very important design capability that never seems to be discussed under "capabilities" is beam design. Beam design determines whether you are ranging the hill in front of the game or the hill behind the game. What's your confidence that you are ranging what you think you're ranging? Sure you can range to 3000 yds, but if it's ranging something besides the game you're aiming at, who cares. If the optics has a large vertical beam design, you won't know. It's like aiming at a small bullseye that is obstructed by a thick crosshair. You don't know if you're really holding in the middle of the bullseye. You're just guessing and hoping. I read that the Revic has spent a lot of time perfecting a solution to this beam shape problem. They have narrowed the vertical component of their beam and have added software allowing the hunter to filter out close or far objects that may end up in the beam. These two design elements help make sure the Revic is measuring the elk and not a hill, bush, rock, etc in front of the elk or behind it. I don't like having multiple rifle ballistics in my rangefinder. It's just one more thing to screwup when rushing a measurement. I'd rather have the other rifle profiles in my phone and take a few seconds to load it in the rangefinder when I pick up another rifle. Having only one rifle in the rangefinder and extra rifle profiles in my phone uncomplicates things and reduces the chance of selecting the wrong rifle profile. [/QUOTE]
