Long Range Elk, Deer, Coyote rangefinder

Brice, I have been using the [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/optilogic-rangefinders.html]Opti Logic[/link] products for years. They work great on [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/targets.html]targets[/link] above 1000 yards. I believe my XL is good out to 1500 and they are very easy to use. Just a thought. Erik.

The maximum ranges listed for a [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/rangefinders1.html]rangefinder[/link] are for large, reflective [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/targets.html]targets[/link]. One of the best current [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/rangefinders1.html]rangefinders[/link] with the most power is the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/swarov-lzrngfinder-70002.html]Swarovski Laser Guide 8x30.[/url] No [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/rangefinders1.html]rangefinder[/link] will range a coyote at maximum distance, though. You can expect around half that distance on a deer, and less on a smaller animal or object like a coyote. Most ofter you'll have to bounce the laser off a larger, more reflective object near the coyote. Here's a primer that may help: [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/how-to-buy-laser-rangefinder.html]How to Buy a Laser Rangefinder.[/url]

I am in need of a rnagefinder to range off of coyotes, deer and elk from 750 to 1500meters. I hunt the wide open spaces of Nevada and Kansas and Eastern Oregon and Washington and need the long distance capabilities. Anyone have any suggestions. Size and weight are unimportant. [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/spottingscopes.html]Monocular[/link] or [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/binoculars.html]binocular[/link] are unimportant. I would like to stay under $1250 if possible, otherwise I would just buy some geovids. Thanks Brice bdyal@pld.com
