FACTOID: Most rangefinders are only good for 2/3 the yardage they claim.  :bash:

What brand is an R7 Mtnmuley?

Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

For under $1000 I think it's pretty hard to beat the Leica 1600.  You can buy one new for $650.

I've read reflective objects at over 1800 yards with mine.  (Now if I could just get antelope to put reflective panels on their sides...)

That is not the new Leica 1600 CRFB. Thats the old one, the new one is 799.00 at  CLNY.

I re read Bobs post and he is correct. You can buy a new 1600 for 650.00.

Swarovski! Mine has never failed me. I started with a nikon prostaff, then upgraded to the monarch 1200 but both were useless in the "elements". My buddy has a leica and likes it but he doesn't like it when I have to range for him because of weather. Also my swaro  ranges out to 1200-1300 yards pretty consistently. One day even 1600+. Just don't go cheap you will end up upgrading in the future.
