Have both, work fine. Vortex cost a little less. Also digs are good.I'm looking at picking up a rangefinder so I can quit borrowing one from my hunting buddy. I want to start this petition for advice by saying the I'm military, so preference will be given to those companies that offer military discount/"pro deals" such as leupold and vortex and any others I'm not aware of. I hunt out West for just about everything, and prefer using my rifle. I don't anticipate shooting much over 700 yards so I'll set that general range as my "must" yardage for reliable reading. What offerings are there that will get me out to those ranges consistently, even in lower light conditions? I'll say that I'm not overly wealthy but if there's an option that is far and away superior for maybe $100-$200 more than something on the upper limit of what I'd feel comfortable with, I'd hear it out. Looking at the Leupold 1400 offering but I know that these $200-tier ones are unreliable at times and I've had too many frustrations with rangefinders on hunts not to open up my budget more. Thanks for the help in advance!
