| Get the Leica 1600. It may be about $100 over your max but it's worth it. Reliably ranges to 1600 and a bit beyond in clear conditions.

| I would try to find a good used Swarovski 8 x30 Rangefinder. I believe they have a lifetime guarantee so you don't have to worry about that, and the one I have is extremely accurate way past the 1000 yard mark. |

I have used mine out to 1800 yards with good results. |

| i doubt you will be hunting out to 1000 yards and 1000yard targets are already ranged- so why do you need a 1000 yard rangefinder? just curious....

| We had a number of different range finders at camp once. We tried them all at different distances. I think non were more than a maximum of 5 meters apart in their readings. Just got one that reads to 3000 meters. |

(That I have owned)I could have saved a lot of money just going straight to the end of the story. Same with optics, but everyone has to learn that one for themselves.
Cut whatever claims the manufacturer makes in half or even 1/3 if you really need it to work. If you need 500 it better say 1000 or 1500 or you will be cursing sooner or later. Probably sooner.
You are right about the G7 Dogleg; nothing else is even remotely as good. |
