Antler Eater, I agree that the Leica's Binos that have the built in range finder are heavy and big compared to other binos. Also they are very expensive in the $1600 up to $2500 depending upon which model. This Leicarangefinder that Ijust got are no bino's, its just a rangefinder, and they are compact. I'll have to post a pic of me holding mine in my hand. As far as price goes, I got mine at dealer price. I work at a archery shop part time and get paid in store credit at dealer price. Anyway they sell for $699 (Sportsmans Warehouse and Cabelas and Bass Pro)or within $10 of that price from the places that I know carry Leica products. Of course dealer price is below that but not by much, there is not a big mark up on Optics and Rangefinders, like there can be on other products. Alsoto answeryour other question no it does nothave the correct distance to angle like the Leupolds. Being honest I am glad it doesn't, we also sell the Leupold rangefindersin our shop and I for one do not like them one bit.I am a huge Leupold rifle scope fan and that is the only scope my guns wear, so thats saying something. I don't feel that thecalulated given yardage with theangle is always correct for every weapon in every situation. Sure sometimesit will be close to dead on,but in other situationsit can be way off. For myslef,I just like the know the real actual yardage, that the bullet or arrow will travel,and then its up to me the shooter, be it bow or rifle to make the adjustment.
