The Leica's are very nice, that's what I use for prairie dogs. The Nikon's, Leupold's, and Bushnell's don't have enough of an effective range. The Zeiss and the Swavorski are also very nice.

how far are you shooting?

[308law]

We shoot pd's out to 1000 yrds. Any rangefinder will probably need to be mounted on a tri-pod for that long range use unless you have something large to range off of, like a tractor or building. It is incredibly hard to hold it still enough for long range stuff to get a good read without a tri-pod, with that being said, with a tri-pod and the Leica 1600 I can range pd mounds out to at least 1000 yrds which is the farthest we can see.

I like my Swaro Laser Guide, but it has stayed home since I got my Bushnell Fusion 1600's. Decent binoculars paired with a great rangefinder.

id stick with the leica. i have owned 2 swarovskis and im not happy with them. the leica has a narrower beam
which is helpful at the longer distances. you are correct in assuming a tripod is helpful. i use a walking stick/shooting rest
for mine when im pd hunting. the leg is adjustable and it screws to the unit. resting your elbows on a shooting table works also.
