Laser range finders built into scopes
I never really heard of anyone talking aboug these, but it makes sense to have a rangefinder built into a scope. There's actually a couple of models out that I didn't know about.
Swarovski LRS3
Burris Laserscope
Nikon IRT
Zeiss Diarange
Bushnell Yardage Pro
Just curious if anyone has tried them out. I read a review saying that the Zeiss had one of the best clarity and low light optics when compared to the Bushnell and Burris.. but of course there's a huge price difference.

I never understood why Barret's BORS wasn't designed to integrate with a laser rangefinder.
Weight is the primary concern with this - a mil-dot reticle is a good pound lighter than a ruggedized rangefinder with batteries, and the POA/POI shift at the extreme ranges would require an even more expensive optic (what I would forsee that actual use being).
I'm more curious if it would be possible to integrate a laser rangefinder into an APTIAL unit, and keep the final package (with tiny LCD) the size of a PEQ2
