Rangefinder?

[cwuhunter]

has been talked about before im sure, but need help deciding on a rangefinder. sent back my arc 1000, was terrible, now need a new one. cant decide on the vortex ranger, or maybe stepping up to a swaro? I need it to range trees at 800 yards, and have the angle compensator. I know the swaro or leica, zeiss don't have that, so what are your thoughts on the ranger 1000? consistent readings of 7-800 yards, one time button push?

Personally after looking through the different rangefinders and reading reviews I am going leica.  Personally I am going the 1600 route but I think the other versions are as good.  They are very small and very easy to use and great reviews.

  I totally agree.

If you spend the money go leica. With Swaroski you are buying the name. Great glass but is it a great range finder? Never used on so I don't know. I know their scopes are not durable. I know a friend that bought a zeiss and it was 50 yds of of the leupold, leica, and nikon in our elk camp. I have never used the vortex but I have heard good things about them.

Some guy traded me a Leupold, I just got rid of it last night.

I'm no expert, but I think I've used or owned most of the laser rangefinders out there.  (At least the ones I could afford...Vectonix are quite a ways out of my price range). 

I've got a Leica 1600 right now that I'm VERY pleased with.  It will range way out past 1600 if you can find a rock that is facing you, which is farther than I can shoot anyway.  Furthest I got a reading this past weekend while shooting Rock Chucks was just over 2100yds.   

Currently saving my pennies for the G-7 rangefinder.  After I get that one, (depending on how well it performs of course), I'll probably have a nice Leica 1600 for sale.
