You will not read a pig at 900 yards, and depending on conditions, not even at 600. The ranges listed are for large reflective objects in ideal conditions such as an overcast day with clear air. You can expect a pig to be ranged at somewhere around half the maximum distance or less.
The
Leica has the most delicious picture you'll ever see in a rangefinder, but if you want other options, the one I've been using lately is the
Leupold RX 1000. My
Nikon Gold 1200 is darker than I like, and the other
Leupold RX series have so much optional crap in them they get in my way and make my head hurt. I like simple. The
RX 1000 has a very clear picture and is simple to use. It's been my favorite since last hunting season.
