rangefinders

[craiger40]

fellas,

Hey just thought i would post this here for a few obvious reasons. I am looking for a rangefinder that is capable of ranging out to 800yds on animals.
Iam not really looking to be hunting at that range but if i must i would like the equipment to do it with. I have a leupold rx-2 that i bought last year and used but i ran into a few long range problems but it worked really good otherwise. I want one that works alittle further. So fellas if i could pick your brains and get your opinions i would appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Here's the best article I've read on rangefinders:

I saved some overtime pay and got the Swarovski. Expensive but well worth it. The optics alone are superb. Ranging mule deer at 800 - 1000 yards is easy. Ranging rocks etc at 1500+ is not a problem.

Regards, Guy

JD is right, but if you need to save some cash, the Leica's 1200 CRF is a good buy. It will not reach as quickly or as far as the Swaro, but it is a very good buy at 600
