I've owned/own and hunted at least one full hunting season with each the following (multiple states/conditions):

Swarovski Laserguide 8x30
Zeiss RF 10x45
Leica Geovid HD 10x42

Of the 3, the Zeiss is head and shoulders, THE BEST.

+1.

Ive been impressed with my new bushnell 1300. Its been ranging deer and elk in the snow out to 850yds and it hit sage in the snow at 1057yds. When I was looking at rangefinders it was right up there with the top three zeiss lieca and swaro's out to as far as I could test. It was way ahead of the vortex in how fast and how precise it was. The arc and drop calculations are very close to my load data put in a ballistics program too.  :tup:

Not sure how much you are looking to spend but if you are looking at around 300 dollars or so take a look at opti logic micro ii. Has red LED which is really easy to see, has angle compensation and is real compact(it is about as big as your palm). What ever range finder you decide on I would get one with the red LED for it is easier to see in low light. I believe the vortex, leupold and opti logic have the Red LED.

love the liecas , but for archery there not to good need left hand to range , the compact models work well for right handed rangeing .
