Always owned a cheapo 400 yarder but never used while hunting because it was a pain in the butt to pack around one more item. Only reason I use one now is cause I have two in one. Range finder never leaves the binos. Leica Geovids, and I love them.

I had a Bushnell, can't remember the model, and I hated it. It ended up falling out of my pack on a pack trip, so I bought a Leupold RXIV. It seems to work good, I like the angle compensator, works well. If I had to do over again, I would buy the Leica, my buddy has one and it is awesome.

Bushnell yardage pro 450. Works OK, but I think I am going to upgrade this year.

Same, It's ok. I figure if I can't range it I shouldn't shoot! I would like a Leica though. Handled Grizzle's and it was very nice!
