    Leupold, I have had it for 4 years and it's still on its original battery and has been flawless. The clarity is perfect. I had a wildgame before this and went through about 2 battery's a year and the difference in the optics was night and day. I spent about 2hrs at the shop looking at them all and have not regretted spending the extra cash on it.

    Halo. It has worked fine for the three years that I've had it. It was also only around $90. I have no need for one that ranges more than a few hundred yards.

    Halo. Got it in 2012 and replaced the battery last year. Never had a problem with it. My only. Complaint is the info is black and can be hard to see at dawn and dusk.

    My next one will probably be the vortex fury HD bino/range finder combo but that's some $$$

    Leica, red display is awesome during lower light conditions. I have a Nikon also but don't use it for hunting because of the black numerical display. It doesn't have the nice incline correcting features of newer ones as I have had it for several years but it has been a tank in the field. It went through a flooded basement that I just knew had cratered it, let it dry out a bit and tried it out and worked like a charm and the optics were as clear as ever. Can't say enough good about it.

    I use the Nikon 440, just put a new battery in after about ten years! No complaints here.

    Bushnell truth. It's ok for the money I guess. I'll be bucking up on my next one. I'm partial to Vortex optics so I may go that route
