nikon makes a great rangefinder, I like it more than my father's leupold, and so does he.

I looked at many range finders and settled on the Leica 900 and couldn't be happier. I've ranged deer out to 326 yards with no problem, even in hazy conditions. I looked at the Leupolds due to their quality of scopes which I own exclusively but was turned off by the negative views on Cabelas.com. The local Cabelas "bargin cave" is loaded with at least 10 returned Leupolds but no Leicas so that tells you the Leupolds have problems. Nothing but positive reviews on the Leica and I glad I made the investment. Great for golf too.

LRF - LIECA.

GPS - I like garmins I have owned 4 now (base model etrex, summit andcurrently have a Nuvi in the wife's ride, while I upgraded to the Map60CSx). All have provided good service and no troubles or repairs needed.

In terms of the Rhino systemif others inyour party/group use rhino's then they are nice due to the radio/beaming functions. If not thenI see little need or reasoning to buy a rhino.

Good luck

I have the Leica 1200CRF. The C stands for Compact. That is a sweet set up and I don't think you'll be dissapointed. It's much easier to use with one hand than the standard range finder.

I like the Garmin products too

+1 for the Nikon. I have the Laser 1200. Works really well.
