BigWave Report post Posted January 31, 2013 My hunting partner just got this for Christmas. His wife knew he wanted a new rangefinder with angle compensation. She bought it for him for Christmas. He opened it and was thinking it was perfect, he tossed the box. A few days later he started fiddling around with it and realized it was much more complicated than he wanted to have. He tried to return it and the seller said no returns without the box, so he had just settled on keeping it until I suggested selling it online. His wife paid $799 plus tax and shipping, so about $860 is what he said. Its never been out of his house. He has pushed the range button maybe 6 times, then put it back in its soft case. He said he would sell it for $725 shipped and insured. Postal Money Order only please. Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted January 31, 2013 Tell him to keep it. It can be as simple as any rangefinder if thats all he wants, or it can be used for much more if needed. Plus his wife got him an awesome gift and he will regret selling it. I speak from experience. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigWave Report post Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah, I told him that. Its an awesome rangefinder. He just wants something like a simple Nikon Archers Choice with the angle compensation. For the most part, he only bowhunts. He's pretty well settled on selling this one and his wife just wants him to get what he wants. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about the Nikon, but most of the cheaper rangefinders have a wider beam that prevents them from ranging things thru small openings. I would tell him to keep it as well.

Flash Report post Posted January 31, 2013 Ask him if he is interested in a brand new in box Bushnell rangefinder (any of their models) as trade or partial trade? I am owed one but want the Leica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shurtzgarret Report post Posted February 1, 2013 I bought the vortex ranger 1000 it has angle compensation and works great! Maybe he would enjoy that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted February 1, 2013 I've got a vortex I'm going to put on the market Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted February 1, 2013 I switched my vortex for the leica. And i was a hardcore vortex guy for a while but their rangefinder is just lacking. I would range a 20 yd tree and get a different reading each time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DubTee Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Dave, Would your buddy consider a partial trade for the Leica 900? The 900 is as simple as it gets, and I'm looking for the Leica angle comp for long range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
