Default New Bushnell Elite 1500 range finder

Has anyone bought one of these yet? How do they compare to the Leica 1200?

Bushnell simply DON'T compare to the Leica's interms of optics in LRF's. I own a Bushnell Scout Pro LRF and it doesn't hold a candle to my partners Leica 900. The optics on the Leica are better in all facets(especially lower light) and the red led is worlds better than the black Bushnell use.

I will say for my usage the Scout has been just fine but as I have stated many times previously for longer range or use to actually range game (LOTS) do yourself a favour and buy LEICA!!!

Near as I can tell that model isn't out yet and won't be for a couple months. It lists as having a LED, like the Leica and the unit is waterproof, an advantage over the Leica. I'll be researching this model but if anyone has any hands-on about clarity and functionality please post.

Looked through the Leica today and it's is really nice compared to the Bushnells and Nikons. I would probably buy one today if the Elite wasn't coming out soon. Once I get a chance to research the Busnell more I'll buy one or the other probably.
