[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 160671, member: 704"] I first went through about five or six Bushnell, then two Leica, then a Swarovski that I still have and now a Sig 2000. The optics are so good in the Swarovski that I often don't carry my binocs. The only thing the Swarovski doesn't have is angle compensation. It will shoot to 1999 yards on rocks, pine trees etc. The Sig 2000 will do about the same on rocks and hill sides, but on buildings and bright rocks I have reached as far as 3215 yards. No matter how reflective the Swarovski stops at 1999. One thing I have noticed is if your rangefinder will shoot through your car windshield and give you a reading to 200 or 300 yards then it will not range well on snow. My theory is the wave length of the light used. There must be some variability. I think if it penetrates the windshield then it also penetrates snow rather than reflecting off it. Offhand I can't tell you how far the Swarovski and Sig range on snow, but I know it's out beyond 600 yards which I just ranged out my open house window. Oh, I did have three Nikons also. I bought those as backup and because they had angle compensation. The first two had very little range, so I spent $369 for the Rifleman 1000. They should have called it the pistol man 450. I can't recommend a Nikon at all. [/QUOTE]
