I was just reading this old thread while doing research. It's amazing how much rangefinder technology has progressed in 10 year. I've been using the G7BR2 since it came out and have loved everything about it but it's size. My first rangefinder was the Leica 1600. Leica is top quality imo. I had my hands on the 2700b recently setting it up for a friend and his Christensen Arms Ridgeline 7mm. I've been thinking about getting me one. But maybe a new G7 version will be out that will fit in my pocket just as well.
