I own a Vortex Ranger 1000. Have had it for two years. Have not used it a bunch but it has worked well every time i have used it. I will range out 600-700yds most of the time depending on the lighting conditions and your ability to hold it steady(this is key). Ranging 400-500yds is easy pretty much every time. the Leupold 1000DNA that I tried at the store was a little faster at ranging than the Vortex but the Vortex seemed more consistent, IMO.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Vortex again after owning this one for two years. It ranged on a reflective target(rock cliff)to 860yds during elk season out in Utah this year without too much effort. Still has the original battery which I put in the day I bought it and the battery life icon still shows 3/4 charge.
