Which rangefinder?

[darkstalker]

In the market for a decent rangefinder. Something that is accurate and measures up to 500-600 yards. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Just started with the vortex very happy with it for the price mine was S/H if I had the £££ prob go back to bino's with RF swaro's 8x42' again but I can buy 4 vortex or more for the same outlay and range just as good ,mine also works out the shooting deg's for up or down hill shots

Or any rangefinder that gives you the effective horizontal range in your choice of yards or meters. Regards JCS

I recently bought a Leupold 1200i - easy to use and seems well built/ good optics.

I picked up a leupold vx750 with the ballistic range feature off ebay for £100, worth keeping your eyes on there.

Leica Rangemaster 1600

Leica 1600 - spot on internal ballistics calc.
Great in sun and low light; simple handheld with lots of thought through features.
Super distance range

Recommend this !

I bought the Vortex a few months ago. Seems very accurate and I've been ranging out to 800 yards reliably with it when testing. Was even giving me good results at 500 yards down a street which had fires and a fair amount of smoke at night. Impressed so far.

I have an MTC one with the OLED range display. Around £150 and very good for the money, mine has had use in lots of different conditions and seems to be good - granted its not as good as Leica, but then Minox binos aren't as good as Swaros - they do the job though if you can't justify the high end prices.

I've got 2 crappy ones you could buy (1 Chinese, 1 Bushnell) or you could jump straight to buying a Leica.
I bought mine 2nd hand & I'm thrilled with it. I'm stuck with Yards only, but that's fine,

 

[JockStalk]

But they don't work great in morning mist!

Leica 1600B - totally spot on - won't ever need anything else

Zeiss prf is great.

+1, I have one and find it to be excellent. Not cheap, but the image quality is excellent too.
