Then also understand that this may not always translate in the hunting situation due to other variables that come into play.
In terms of equipment - range finders the Bushnell fusion binos ARC 1 mile are very good value for money and very good long range capability. Come up second hand for under $1k. I hear good things about some of the Sig Sauer RF's and not too spendie. Scope 2nd hand best given a budget of $1k - Sightron, Leupy VX6, Zeiss Z4 or HD5, maybe a Vortex but optical quality is a bit hit & miss.

thanks will keep my eye out for the above
