I was getting readings at 1890 yards in overcast (60*, 28.62 inHg, 45% RH) off hand on canopies. Individual trees I could only get 1250-1300. Rock faces at approximately 90*, I was getting readings out to 1870 every 2-3 attempts off hand. Using the tripod with a Hog saddle, I was getting consistent first time readings. Readings were instantaneous, though. Distances were confirmed with my GPS location using Google Earth Pro (I have found to be extremely accurate).
My only gripes are a lack of tripod mount, and no mil or MOA reticle.
As far as ranging rocks and buildings, lets be real, it absolutely is applicable. Even when I was using a PLRF15C, getting readings on steel in 100*+, no cloud cover, was still difficult passed 1500m, but ranging surrounding terrain, whether it be buildings or rocks was always going to be dependable.
As for hunters, ranging a deer past 1000 is irrelevant if not only to confirm its out of range for an ethical harvest, which in that case, ranging the hillside will suffice.
ELR shooters probably have more than just the LRF to range a target. GPSs, most of time is +/-3 to 12 yards depending on satellite visibility, and that means the targets location and your location so it literally could be +/- 6 to 24 yards.
