Bushnell Elite 1500 laser rangefinder. When I first started experimenting with it, a few things were readily apparent: the display is lightning fast compared to any other unit I'd tested. It ranges your target instantly. The 7x26mm monocular is far brighter than previous Bushnell units, a big improvement, as it makes the liquid crystal display much more vivid in lower light conditions. The monocular is a fully multi-coated optic, and features the excellent Bushnell RainGuard on top of that. Like its smaller brother, the Legend, the Elite 1500 is both waterproof (not just "resistant") and it floats.
It goes a big step further, however. This unit is diopter focusable, a feature passed up in the Legend for the sake of its waterproof integrity. The ability to focus the monocular is a huge plus versus the prior perma-focus approach.
The Elite 1500 is not a compact rangefinder; it measures 1.7 x 5.1 x 3.7 inches and weighs 11.8 oz. It uses a single 9 volt radio battery, a plus compared to the lithium camera batteries used before. It ranges as close as 5 yards and outranges every rangefinder I have ever tested. The Elite 1500 will quickly give you a reliable range at ranges and conditions where no other rangefinder can, simple as that. It gave me reliable ranges on reflective objects, such as a light colored truck, to well past 1300 yards.

I bought this unit from Errol Mason quite a few years ago and my Swaro RF replaced it seven odd years ago so its up for grabs as its just sitting in the safe.
It has a 7X monocular that is a very handy spotter too.
$300 plus a bit of freight.

When I get up for a leak at 3am in Wonnangatta, it’s the jacket I grab every time. I sleep in the buff and that jacket warms up straight away (after the initial cold shock
)
When i`m in my swag in the rain i unzip and piss straight out the side. A mate whinged about having to get up for a leak in the cold and wet and I told him what I do.
That night we had celebratory drinks and he did the same and confessed next day that he unzipped the sleeping bag but not the swag and left a litre of his finest inside the swag haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I used to run Gerber shorties....but now opt for the Buck 110....great folding knife that holds an edge and very robust.....
The sharpener is a diamond steel that screws apart, goes inside itself and in its own pouch.....excellent for keeping an edge on your knife...light and small.....
Brinny I have had the same diamond steel for circa 40 years,they are a really good aid on site in the bush.
My Buck 110 is older Iiirc except the blade is a third the size of your knife now.

I’m sure you get my point.
I do and it really does matter,some hunters will do it with an open sighted 303 and yet others with the priciest rifle/scope combo come second.

but is a $5k Blaser any better performing than a $1k Remington, for example?
That depends on whom is shooting them.

Years ago I ran three 2 x 7 - 33 Leupold scopes on my deer rifles and was finding that they were just not quite enough. So I went to 3.5 x 10 -44 scopes and the difference was amazing as my vision had deteriorated as expected with the years.
I run 10 x 44 binos daily and they are great but there are days now that I wished I had my 15 X binos on my neck for that little bit extra even at 150 yards in pox light.
Like is that an antler tip? Is that an ear fringe? Some days I study things in the binos and feel a goose because I have been looking at a stump in the gloom!

The option of instant range at the push of a button whilst viewing thru bins is worth the extra coin.
Amen!

Hi
older guy been into all types of shooting, fishing, camping since young. Grew up in Toowoomba in 70s and 80s and always had properties to go to, family pass time.
Moved to Gold Coast 20 years ago, with kids etc and extra distance was out of it for quite a while but last few years been getting back into it, mostly range time pistols and rifles.
Now son 23 and also into shooting and outdoors, looking to get back into hunting.
I lived in Coomera for seven years Fred and Karumba for 1/2 a year and I can say that the hunting opportunities on the GC are limited unless you really know someone.

Got a good exy rifle/scope? Well they really should have a HARD gun case imo.

Here we are back in `83-`84 (iirc) in the King on the last hunt for the year over the hounds. The note was for stirring up his bro in law,he went all the way back to the ute to get the cardboard..keen.
Mick wore Speedo`s every hunt with only a swanni over the top, we hunted 28 weekends in a row in those days.
