Good range for hunting / outdoors use: Being able to measure out to 800 yards is solid for many hunting or stalking scenarios.

Simple to use: The interface and modes are fairly straightforward — spot, scan, tilt — which keeps things fast in the field.

True horizontal / incline compensation: Helps when shooting or estimating in hilly terrain (i.e. gives “true horizontal distance” rather than just line of sight).

Reasonable weather resistance: IPX4 means it should survive light rain and splashes (but not full submersion).

Portability: Relatively lightweight and compact, and includes a lanyard + grip texture to manage it in rugged conditions.

Value: It’s not a “top-tier” rangefinder in price, but given its features and range, it offers a good balance of performance vs cost (especially as a hunting optic).

You need a rangefinder for hunting / fieldwork, not ultra-precision or competitive shooting.

You don’t want to spend a premium on top of the line gear.

You are okay with “good, not perfect” water resistance.
