[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 490786, member: 22495"] Well, I had been moderately satisfied with my Bushnell Elite 1500 until I went shooting this weekend with a friend who brought along his Swarovski. My Bushnell would read the same numbers as his when ranging steel targets at just under 600 yards. Mine would actually give the range a little faster. When we moved to 1033 yards it was a whole different ballgame. His would range every single time. He could even range the upper end of the field (nothing reflective there, just trees and grass) and get numbers around 1300 yards. My Bushnell never even gave me a reading on the steel targets. I couldn't get anything even with sitting down and holding it as still as possible. He actually borrowed my Bushnell for a few days and played with it, then decided on the Swarovski. I really don't want to have to spend more money, because my wife will kill me. But, honestly, I am thinking of selling the Bushnell and getting something different. I think that if 600 yards is the limit, then the Bushnell is fine. Go past that and I start getting very frustrated. Like I said, my friends Swaro was getting ranges without the need of a reflective object. Mine would need a mirror past 800 yards I believe to get a decent repeatable reading. Since there are not too many times that you see a deer standing next to a street sign, I think the Bushnell is history for me. [/QUOTE]
