I bought the lrf 800 the day they came out......like 7ish years ago.......still going strong. I sold the bushnell, too much going on in the reticle and poor optics, both solved with the leica.

there is a big push lately for angle compensating rf's. I gotta say that if it is steep enough to affect the shot you are prolly a good enough hunter to make the hit. poor hunters don't typically hunt that steep of country.

as for all the scan, rain, fog yada yada...

hold the button on the leica till it shows the range....done. not so with the bushnell.

The Leica's kick *ss!.  They work in conditions when the others won't.

bone, if you have  a trip to NM for 400 inch Bulls for 1600.00 I am in, tell me where to send the check. The ads I see are more to the 5000.00 and up  range.

I doubt you can beat the Leica for quality. But my budget was limited.

I bought the Nikon Monarch 800 off ebay for 260 bones. I used it in Alaska for my sheep hunt. My guide had a new Leupold with the angle compensator. It wasn't working. My range finder ranged the ram at 420 in the rocks, and after that, he was history. I am very happy with the qaulity.
