[QUOTE="jimbo300, post: 191359, member: 9060"] I currently own two rangefinders. My old one is a Bushnell compact 800(although not so compact by today's standards). I have had no problems out of this rangefinder. The reticle is easy to see, it ranges accurately(compared reading with a swaro several times) and has held up to years of hunting and shooting. I have well gotten my $ worth from them. I also have the swaro rangefinder it is a top notch outfit. I have owned it 2 yrs now and I am very pleased. My only complaint about the swaro, is the ranging button is noticibly harder to press than my bushnell's. Making it harder to stay on target while trying to range. But if you attach a tripod this is not such a problem, its almost a must for the extended ranges. I wonder if others have noticed the same with the swaro's compared to others. That being said, the swaro's kick the bushnell's @$$ in low light conditions. Plus double the ranging capability. I have also heard good reports from the leica's. Their compact 1200 are truly compact. If you intend to shoot out to 1K or further, I would opt for the swaro's or leica's. [/QUOTE]
