Re: Laser Rangefinder w/ angle compensation
I own a Leupold RX-IV with the internal ballistic calculators for angle compensation. All in all not that impressed with range-finding capability. I have a hard time hitting anything past 300 yards with it. I also have a Nikon IRT scope, which hits everything and is by and far the best laser rangefinder I've owned. I think its rated to 900 but hits everything out to 700 in any light condition and in decent conditions hits out to 1200 easily. My experience with Leica 1200 crf has been poor with difficulty ranging anything past 400 even in scan mode, and if lighting was low that dropped to about 200.
One friend has a Bushnell 1000arc, and he likes it, says he consistently hits the 1037yd gong at his range. I haven't played with it so I can't say for certain.
So, I'd say if your shooting within 400yds, any rangefinder you buy should work. If you're looking for longer ranges see if your local shop will let you step outside to test it. If you can hit power line poles at 600-700 then it should be a good laser. The angle compensator should be secondary behind ranging capacity. I'd say try them out if the shops will let you, ask to try other shooters gear if you can. See for yourself what works.
