Thread: Range finder- what's everyone using and why?

Alot of people spend extra money on the long range rangefinders (1600 etc). The way i saw it was why spend extra on something that ranges way more than you going to shoot? I bought a leupold 850TBR and its all i need. It range as far as im going to look at shooting so found it pointless spending extra on the 1200 model etc.
I like the new model, very light, compact and seems to work quite well and will range out past the Max i look at shooting so that suits me just fine. Sometimes i hear people moaning that a range finder only ranging 1250 etc when it states 1600. i think are you really going to shoot something out that range, fact is they prob never shoot anything out past 800 so whats the point and who cares ?
Maybe its just me but never did get my head around why people want to range animals at 1.5 km when a good percentage of them are never shooting anything out past 500 and even the long range experts a 1000-1200 model prob will do what they want. If it doesnt range it its a fu ken long way
