I am sure this has been asked before. I am looking to buy a range finder and wan't some input on what to buy? Looking for one that would do to about a 800 yards/ meters.

Thanks

Zeiss Victory 8x26 PRF. They're rated 1300. I bought a set last spring. They have come down in price considerably since then. I paid $800 and have seen them now as low as $650 if memory recalls.

I've got the Leica 1200 and it's great. I've ranged to 1700 yards with it. But It's 8 yr old technology and it doesn't do angles. The Bushnell LRF with angles seems pretty good

I didnt mention any others, as I havent been in the field with anyone that had a Swaro, or a Zeiss, so I kept my comment to what I have actually witnessed. The Bushnells and Leupolds that I have seen,(and there have been many) dont come anywhere close to the Lieca in performance or in size.

Was that on a critter or a hard object? Mine seems to go to about 1300 max, but on hair and rocks. It is the 1st rangefinder I have seen that would range soft and hard objects about the same.
