Range finder around ~500?

[MrOneEyedBoh]

Im looking for a decent range finder under 500. I dont mind used, so thats an option too. I noticed that some RF'ers are spec'ed at longer ranges then what the actually work at. Im looking to reach out to 1k yards, sooner or later. So thats why Im here, looking for real world usages.

I am VERY pleased with the Bushnell Elite 1600 ARC monocular. I also had the Bushnell Elite 1600 Fusion bino's and they were good as well.
Compared to the Lieca 1200 I had, the Bushnell's would range farther and more consistently.

I can range to a mile with it with out much problem.

Under your $500 price if you shop around. Look here: http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Elite-160...6357&sr=8-1

I got my Leica LRF 1200 off eBay for around $340...it's a good place to snag one up. I am very satisfied with mine.

I just got a Bushnell Elite 1600 ARC monocular as well. It is really nice, clear, and accurate. I am very pleased with it. Got mine from Optics Planet via Amazon.

Re: Range finder around ~500?

thanks! On the ARC, is it the Rf only or the bino model too?

On the Bushnell, the Elite 1600 monocular , and the Fusion binos, have the same laser. I have owned both and think they cant be beat for the price.

I have the Bush 1500. Works great.

Re: Range finder around ~500?

Thanks 264. I might get the binos as its a two in one.. but if the price is way cheaper, I'll go mono.

$450-$500 for monocular
$750+ for bino

Depending upon your ability to sniff out a deal...

+2 for the Bushnell Elite 1500 or 1600 range finder.
rugged, looooong battery life, fairly quick, i have ranged out to 813 with no bipod, and 1250+ with bipod.
good price point as well.
going on 4 years still works great!
