I work in the shooting industry and I know what does and does not work. And this

 deffinetly DOES work. It is the only rangefinder that I have been able to consistantly get to range at, and even past, the advertised range. I have used it to range targets out to just a hair over 2,000 yards, and I have done this with more than one of these, so it's not a fluke. The clerity and field of view are unmatched. And it takes abuse. Rain, dirt, mud, rattling around in my pack with all of my other long range shooting gear, it takes it and begs for more. It's not loaded with features. But in my humble opinion, feature laden products are usually the first to fail. You point at your target, you range your target. Thats all you should ask from a range finder. Theres plenty of other gear to get weather data, true ballistic range, and all that other fancy non-sense that other companies advertise. If you care about features, get a leupold but don't cry when it only ranges half its advertised distance. You want reliability? Get a Swarovski. It's expensive, but good gear never
