[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 469443, member: 12443"] all the debates seem to be about which rangefinder is best. i would agree completly with broz and others about the well known lazers. im on my second swaro. and thats been back for service. ive not seen a vectrinix, but am of the opinion they would be on par with some of the military lazers as for distance and accuracy. that along with being eyesafe and legal to own. but there are other options to consider and one never discussed. some newcomers to the sport might find those options appealling. does everybody need an expensive rangefinder, and what are other options? that would of coarse be dictated by where and how a person hunts long range. and to some degree the animals being hunted. much western hunting is done by the spot and stalk method. regardless of location, when using that method a good rangefinder is just about a must have. a lazer is the only good option. whereas in some areas hunting is done from a specific spot or location. the same locations are used day after day, year after year. ive been using rangefinders for about 40 years. mostly military units like barr&stroud and wild. they are large and not very portable. but if you can see the target you range it accuratly, period end of story. they can still be had for about half the cost of a swaro. ranges to objects can be taken and written down. that ends the need for the rangefinder. another option is actual shooting at the objects and keeping records of clicks. range cards would be a common name name for this. so point is for at least some of us, owning an expensive rangefinder isnt as important as it would be for others. now on the other hand a large investment in good tripod mounted binnoculars is a wise and essential move. the bigger the better. ill bet not many spot and stalkers would agree.
