I know this has been beat to death. But I can't find a thread that gives me the answers I want. I've been researching rangefinders for the last few months in the under 1k range and have decided on the Leica 1600. But now that I actually have the money to buy it, I'm wanting to know if there is something better that I should consider. Possibly one that costs 1300 or so. I will be using this for target shooting up to and a little past 1k yards, as well as for both rifle and bow hunting, so it needs to be easily portable and practical to carry around.
I just don't want to run into problems ranging an elk at a 1000 yards (not that I will necessarily be taking the shot, but at least I'll know how much closer I need to get). And if there's an option for 500 more that will ensure me that confidence, then I might get that instead. The only options I'm interested in are angle readouts as I will calculate my own corrections using a weather station along with the lrf. I would rather have too much rangefinder than not enough, so let me know what you guys think.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Scott
