Title: Recommend me a Rangefinder?
Post by: kavawava on January 05, 2013, 09:31:38 AM

Hey all,
So my crappy binoculars gave out on me last weekend and now I'm in the market for a laser rangefinder.  What are your folks opinion on some rangefinders around the $100 mark?  I mostly shoot pistol, but Im looking to get into rifle soon.  I'd like something that could double as both a rangefinder and a moderate magnification binoculars.

Thnx :shaka:

I use Leupold, but I don't think it's at your $100 price range.

What are some things to look for in a good rangefinder with a hunter/shooter  (no golf) in mind?

Well the model I have has the ability to gauge angle of inclination/declination, different reticles, different modes, etc.

If I chose to I can match the reticle in the rangefinder to that in my scope which makes going between the two easier, angle can be used to adjust "effective" distance, it's compact (light).

One more item to think about.........if you have the right reticle you can range items using the reticle.
