I've never owned one of this but, assuming it's well calibrated it's an amazing tool for the money. Setup took a couple minutes and pretty intuitive to use. Remember to remove the battery from its tight plastic wrapping. Scanning distance is Mode 1 would be great for hunting and similar. Mode 2 works great to pin the number of the object (a golf flag, for instance). I like the vibration on lock. Eye relief is a bit minimal and will be hard to see the whole field if you wear glasses. Perhaps higher priced models have adjustable eye relief. Very comfortable in the hand. The only question is reliability; I've only had it an hour.
