cannot really afford to keep two of them. They're both paid for, right? Yes Sir, they are!!! But can only use one at a time! May keep, if I sell will only buy something else I don't need!!!

update....My replacement came today. It's as big of POFS as the first one. Can't range a windmill tail at 900 from a tripod. My Leica will get hits handheld, elbows on a table. The tail is 18-20 inches tall and over 4 foot long. Way bigger than my 700 yd gong..... I'm glad most guys are getting good ones, but what's the chances of me getting 2 bad junkers in a row?

WTH Don,
Did they move or change manufacturing? I bought one early on and it works like a charm. They keep that up and they're going to tube their reputation quickly.

That sucks dude...I bought mine last April with no issues so far. I can't quite seem to get to 2500+ consistently with hilltops and such like some do, but out to 1800-2000 yards mine will range anything and everything.

I held off on buying one for the season, because too many people were having problems with them. Hopefully, they've got it under control now, and they'll all be good! In the meantime I'm just going to have to make do with my Leica. It won't range that far, but then again, I don't have the erectors to get that far anyway!

I'm ready to buy one. My Leupold won't range an elk in an open field at 350 yards.
Cabelas is $499 but I'm sure there are better prices out there. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I just went to Midway site and it comes up $499 even though the add you showed has a 9/31 cut off date. Is there a special code on that flyer?
Thanks

I don't care about how it ranges buildings and bridges at 3000 yards....how does it do at 1000 or less on a deer ?
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
