Default RE: rangefinder

I bought the Bushnell Elite 1500. The new ones have ARC but are much more than $300 I'm afraid. I really like the Leica better, the red is just so nice, but when I bought mine the Leica were not guarenteed waterproof, and I HAVE to have waterproof.

Anywho, since I'm a rifle guy out west, I'm ranging deer and elk and coyotes out past 500 yards a fair amount. Ranged some elk at 700 yards last fall, though that's too fartoo shoot by a long way in my opinion, still nice to know just how far they are. I wanted one strong enough to give me a solid read out to 400 yards on deer and coyote size game so that's why I got that one. Works pretty well for me, little big, but not bad. Rainguard is nice too. And, as a test, I ranged a white metal building at dusk once at 1,572 yards, that was cool.
