heavy4x4 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Back on topic... I have Bushnell's Yardage Pro Sport. I got it several years back for $170 and I think that's the price they're still selling for. It's a smaller unit, nice to carry. Monocular. I think it's rated for shiny, large objects (side of building, for example) to 300 yards and deer size to 150 or so, but you may want to check on that. I haven't used it to range game yet, just targets and trees/landmarks around my hunting stands. If you'll be hunting in open land, you may want something that has a little further range. My opinion is Bushnell all the way for range finders. [ 04-26-2005, 12:05 PM: Message edited by: heavy4x4 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gun_Guy Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 bushnell aye, Yeah I like their scopes too. But I saw some nikon rangefinders that say they can go as accurate as 1 yard off at the most. does that evan matter when hunting big game?

heavy4x4 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I think mine is accurate to +/- 1 yard also. 1 yard...even 5...wouldn't really matter on big game at long distances with a high powered rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stress-relief Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I have a set of the Leica 1200 rangefinders. Very compact and light and the visual optics are very clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch-M Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I have both a Bushnell and a Leica ... Leica by a wide margin. Actually, I USED to have a Bushnell ... my brother the golfer snagged it as soon as I started using the Leica. I think the swaro is pretty pricey.

alakso Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 IMHO the Leica's are awesome but pricey. I like the Leupold Wind River RB800, 8x32, Leupold Quality, 2 yr. guarantee, and decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
