RE: Rangefinders
I looked hard at the Leopold, but instead bought a Nikon 600 on Ebay for $193 after shipping. It was used, but in perfect condition, in original box. The Leopold was hard for me to read. Much of the info is around the outer edge and is very difficult to read.
The Nikon is very clear and straight forward. I just got back from a family vacation and saw a lot of animals. The farthest I ranged was an antelope at 368 yards. Didn't try any animals farther than that. Also, there is no rain function on the Nikon, but I tried it in a downpour and it worked just fine.
Bottom line, it is very compact, simple, easy to read and the optics are great.
