Right now, I'm looking at the Vortex Ranger. But may try to find a used, discontinued one like the Bushnell Elite 1500 or Leica LRF. Any thoughts on those?

Thanks,

Can't comment on the vortex but I have used few of the leupolds some time back... My experience has been that I always wished I had gotten something better for the money spent.... I use the Leica 1600B and it is a fantastic piece for the money , typically I don't need to range past 1200 yds but what some people forget is that when a manufacturer advertises what their range finders will range too , that is if the conditions and the subject are perfect.

If you are looking to range out to 400-500 you'd be best served to get one rated to 800 yards or better in my opinion.
