Thread: Educate me on rangefinders

I use the Leica Geovid HD-B and before that used the little leupold monocular rangefinder.
For hunting I find it far more practical to have the rangefinder built in with the binoculars. It was a common issue with having the Binoculars separate to the rangefinder, to spot a deer in Manuka etc and spend 20 odd minutes trying to find it in the little range finder. As the light is fading.
With the Geovids you spot the deer, range it, and you are pretty much good to go. As the Geovids have a ballistics compensation in MOA or yards. They also tell you angle, temp and pressure. Although a really important thing to note is that the older HD-B’s MOA correction is in clicks which is quite annoying, I just taped a conversion chart on the back of the binos so I can divide the clicks by four to get the actual MOA value. I think I read somewhere that the new model has resolved that.
I haven’t used any others to compare, but I really appreciate the ease of my HD-B’s.
They are not cheap though.
