The only "bad" I have with it is the size and weight. I'm mostly a bowhunter and it's probably too much rangefinder for just ranging whitetails @30 yard.

I just bought one. It's pretty dang nice. Coming from a Leica 1600 the glass is not quite as good and I have a bit of an issue getting the reticle nice and sharp as well as the image in perfect focus. Not bad, but not quite perfect. I have good vision at a distance but can's read without 1.5 readers.....Others have said both the reticle and image are perfect for them using the same unit. It will range over 1000yard in an instant off of about any object, has the angle compensation built in, ergonomics are good, overall a nice unit. Would buy again.

I am just starting to look at it. I have not mounted it and do not know what I am going to mount it on. Fresh out of the box it looks good.
