I've used a Bushnell what? YardagePro 400? Something like that. Anyway, against large reflective targets, it would give ranges far in excess of its rating on a diffused light day. Found it to be exactly right at 100, which we had taped recently.

Although you look through these things with both eyes, the objective lens is actually monocular; you really wouldn't want to use these things instead of a good pair of binoculars. I was curious about the jump up to 800 or 1000 yards, and also the quality of the Tascos?

Elker_43: do you mean to say that the Bushnell 1000's aren't as high a quality, or just that the 800's are a better value, being less expensive for similar results?

Anyone got a price on the 800's lately?

Are there any other inexpensive l.a.s.e.r.s of good quality?

Thanks in advance....

L.P.
