I haven't used it in a while, but the last time I took it out, I was very pleased with the results. This model, the 524/2, does have the uncoupled rangefinder. I also use an auxiliary rangefinder with it, on occasion, and have shot some with the "red dot" method, and the results are very good. Better than very good, in fact. If you're interested in an inexpensive way to do 6x9, this is certainly one way to do it. Ken ----------------------------------- The Rev.
