Range Finder

Post by JEBar » Mon Feb 06, 2017 11:12 pm

I'm looking for recommendations for a Range Finder .... It would be used mostly while traveling to determine distances to a given object .... the longer the range the better .... possible use for rifle hunting .... a link to info and source would be appreciated

I don't have one personally, but check out the Sig Sauer Kilo 2000. A friend has one, and it's excellent. Amazon has it, I'm sure Optics Planet and others do, as well.

My son has a Bushnell Tour V3 for golf and really likes it!
Not sure if that would work for you.

Bushnell is a good company, well worth a look .... historically I have gone with Nikon optics and have looked at their range finders .... to me these things are expensive and I don't want to spend the money but once ....

I have a Bushnell that I got from work as a retirement gift. It's worked just fine for me for over 2 years now. Does Yards or Meters. It has an automatic uphill shot factor built in for bow hunting.

thanks for the link .... all of the scopes we use are made by Nikon so one of their range finders would be logical to consider
