Actually X5. I don't think my post was counted. I needed a good inexpensive reliable RF. The Simmons did it.
You can buy a Rolls Royce or you can buy a Ford. Excluding all factors except one, both get you from point A to point B. One is just less expensive.

Leupold RXI 1000 TBR is a great unit.Especially for bow hunting. Will fit in your front pocket.

Without question, this is a great idea. Their optics are awesome! However, the higher you go, the more you need something like an ARC system to compensate for steep angles.
