leica is the best buy in a rangefinder for under $1000.
i have a swarovski (my 2nd one) and i wouldnt reccomend one.
the leica has a narrower beam width which seems to be better.
mine works well up to about 700 yds. beyond that not as good.
beyond 1000 not consistant enough for me to rely on. i still use my
old military coincedence rangefinder most.
