[QUOTE="Monteria, post: 2228820, member: 115565"] I just went through this a couple months ago. I was gearing up for a single hunt, and hadn't previously been a long range shooter. I studied the different models adnausium. I knew that I didnt want to pay for the very best, but I did want the ability to expand if I saw some success, so I used a "budget" buy-once-cry-once mentality. That way I didnt blow too much for one time use, but I spent enough that it was capable of anything that I saw myself doing in the future. I ended up with a 2800.com. the ballistic app is a bit clunky if you have multiple rifles or loads, but it works perfectly. It didnt fail to range anything and I can pair it with a Kestrel later if I want ballistics past 1000yards. As a bonus, the glass is very good. I did more glassing with the fange finder than I did with my Nikon binos on that hunt. The hunt was VERY successful and now I'm upgrading my rifle, so I would bet that ability to expand with a kestrel gets exercised. I think it was a sound investment all the way around. Steve [/QUOTE]
