RU4Au's Review of Vortex Impact 850 6x20mm Laser Rangefinder

You want Red LEDs? Ballistic calculators with stored data, temp, barometric pressure, altitude automatic compensation? Open your wallet and get a Gunwerks BR2. I have one and it's great.
What I wanted and needed was something much smaller... shirt pocket sized. This one really can't be beat.
It is accurate and repeatable. It has two buttons which do what you would expect them to do. We get a Line of Sight (LOS) mode or Horizontal Component Distance mode (HCD), and the scan mode will work within either of them. The display is very clear and crisp and it's intuitive.
Then there's the warranty. They will fix or replace it. Period. NO time limitation listed.
Performance- On a crisp Idaho morning I just ranged fir trees out to 800 yards, which is better than I had ever expected. My hope was for ranging furry things out to around 500 which is easily exceeded this morning on horses and cows.
I'm surprised at the whining about the black readout. It works great, down to light levels where you probably shouldn't be shooting. If you really want a colored readout YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND MORE. You want 2000 yard capability? Read the previous sentence again. If you're a PRC shooter you shouldn't be looking here anyways.
There are cheaper units out there with ratings that strain the truth but when it fails you will just have to trash it and get something else. This one will do what it was made to do for your lifetime. Pay the extra, if any, for this warranty.
