Man, its a new concept still in its infant phase. Lecia has the best binos and range finders, so I would save my money and buy a Lecia. Leupold isn't bad, but I'd save and buy one that will last forever. Thats just my thinking. (???)

I have a Rifleman and I think its a good scope, not the best but certainly better than some. Never used the range finder. If I were you I would buy it, cause you can always upgrade the scope latter and put the Leaupold on a different gun it you want.

IMHO, You can get a better Nikon scope than the leupold rifleman, Now I think leupolds VX II and III are better than the best nikon but you can get a nikon scope and range finder for about the same money and have a better scope than the rifleman, Just my .02$
