[QUOTE="tzo, post: 576521, member: 38499"] I have just sold a Bushnell Elite 1500, have played with a Swaro mono RF, and a Zeiss bino RF. My application is long range target shooting, at the moment, and may be later long range hunting. So for me, I want to be able to range reliably out to one mile or more and so be able to buy something that will last me for the foreseeable future. To that end I acquired a Vectronix PRLF05, there is a discussion on snipershide where I posted my experiences. Basically it's a true military LRF and does amazing things with a Class 1 laser, ranging out well past it's spec'd 2400 meters, out to 4000 yards and beyond on large targets. What this means for LR hunting is to get certain ranging on low reflectivity and/or small game targets out to and well past 1000 yards. The sub $1000 RF's I am afraid will let you down in critical moments by failing to range in less than optimum conditions. I can imagine that for hunting, one wants to carry one piece of optics that does both 10X bino and then as good ranging as possible. In such a case the Leica Geovid seems like a good solution, but I have not touched one. If you can stand to carry a separate bino, and a separate RF, the Vectronix PRLF05 for $2000 simply can't be touched period by anything in it's price range and beyond. Oh, and it gives you the slope corrected range automagically, which is another really nice feature. We'll see that this new entry in the field will kill the $1-2K price range competitors with its vastly superior performance. [/QUOTE]
