[QUOTE="USMCDI, post: 290972, member: 1557"] I'm on my second pair of Leica HDB's, not all that impressed but wanted the best and there's better stuff out there. They have a blue hue that takes some getting used to, my Swaro EL's and Zeiss classics are clearer IMO. The rangefinder under optimal conditions will range out to over a mile but who cares, I want to range a rockpile at noon on a sunny day in the snow, not happening without wearing out the rangefinder button. Bright sunlight screws these up, don't even try it with a little humidity in the air but they range very good at happy hour (dawn & dusk). The eyecups are fragile as hell, both of mine are cracked right now and sometimes come off. Yes, they give you a ballistic solution but I don't trust it, it gets you in the ballpark but I still use a range card that has been validated many times over. The rangefinding square that you see and aim to get a range is huge, these are 10x and it should be smaller to be precise at longer ranges, you can hit three hills at one time with the size of the aiming square inside. Not a Leica hater, I have two other Leica rangefinders and I'm on my second pair of these, I use them everyday and I expected them to be way better. Still looking for something else. [/QUOTE]
