Reccomendations on a range finder?

[Cali_Ed]

Anyone use a range finder? Something up to 1k. Mid grade.

What is your idea of "mid-range"?

 I use a Bushnell that cost about $150 and is good to 800 yards on the right targets and maybe 600 on less reflective targets. It gives some dope for the angle and range based on some basic ballistic data you enter. You can spend $1,500 if you want more goodies......

or over $4,000 if you really want all out;

For under $20 and some walking you can use one of these;

thanks for the info brother I was thinking under 500 bucks doesn't need to be dead accurate something just to get me on target with a dope chart

   I asked this question of a friend who hunts all over the world.  Rite now he's in Africa.  He said it dosen't really matter.  anything in the 400-500 $ range  was good.   When a new chip comes out, all the Co's have it withen 6 months.

    Put a Leaupold up aginst a swarsofkie(? spelling)   they were withen 5 feet of eact other, out to @800 yards, as far as we could sight , at that time.

   Respectfully
