[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 58193, member: 1522"] [ QUOTE ] From what I am seeing here it gives me the impression that I should have maybe gone for a simple Hunting scope with a lazer rangefinder than get a tacticle scope. Am I right or wrong? [/ QUOTE ] Andre, Not at all to your question. You've got a top of the line scope with a fantastic reticle for ranging. Like I said, buy a mil-dot master and learn how to range with the MP-8 reticle. It's not hard, it's fun, but it takes a lot of practice. Like Shawn said and I suggested, purchase a Leica 1200 LRF. This way you can confirm your readings as you're learning to use your MP-8. Stay clear of the Newcon LRF. Lieca's seem to be the best going and I'm very happy with mine. I find it easier to use my LRF than using mil-dots and it's much faster and more accurate. The problem with ranging animals with mil-dots is, most won't stand still or give you the profile you need for accurate range estimation. Don't give up, give in or second guess yourself on your scope. You've got a great scope with one of the best reticles designed. Learn to use the MP-8 and work at it. It really is fun and rewarding. You don't need the ranging Bino's. You're back to the same process with using your scope. You'll have to learn to use their system and calculations. If you need good bino's buy one without the ranging reticle. I had the ranging reticle taken out of my Zeiss EDF bino's. The great thing about the Lieca LRF is they have great glass for viewing. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
