[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1499864, member: 99519"] So I had my Leupold 2800 for the last three days of season...first day was limited hiking area...but able to shoot the laser on several rocks and trees..rightly don't remember if i maxed it out....but all readings have been so fast, and returns from shadowy area(where my Leupold 1200 had troubles) that i was very impressed... Second day a much bigger canyon hike....ranging moose at 600 and another at 1400....each and every push of the button with a return distance....sweet... Last day of season...bigger hike into a canyon that was supposed to be nonmotorized....NOT...I think every quad, side-by-side and truck hqd been in there...hiked to top of ridge and quad tracks there.....disappointed....and no deer in the valley...big surprise....but i did see a doe across into the next valley....ranged her at 1000 yards no problem....this day I played with the Leupold 2800 quite a bit......furtherest I saw registered was over 2900 yards......and still only took a second or so to read that distance... As for clarity to the 7 power eyepiece..it is adjustable for focusing...and is fine for viewing...it isn't a top end bino of course...by .m.more than adequate for the job at hand.... All my registered hits were of natural surrounding..bushes trees rocks...havent tried and long distance on more reflective objects like houses... I am absolutely satisfied with the Leupold 2800 rangefinder...and the price point of sales....at cabelas it was $500....but with saved points...$400... [/QUOTE]
