display has annoying slow flicker; long ranges take multiple tries; consistantly ranged a pine in winter at 1,916yds; one objective's for viewing the other for the laser reflection; longest range rangefinder you can get without a several thousand dollar price hike.

This 8x30 laser rangefinder is by far the best in its class. It is a very accurate device used for calulating distance from one object to another object. I enjoyed using it because it was easy to figure out. I would highly recomend this product.

Changing from meters to yards is a little awkward, not a big deal though.

Would recommend:  no

Ranges out to 1000 m without difficulty. Past 1200 is hit or miss. Glass is great. But the readout is irritating; it flickers and glitters-- electronic chatter I am told by Swarovski. For this price I didn't think it was acceptible. This item was returned. I'd try the Leupold rangefinders.
