Looking for old range finder

BOB7255KHZ · 10-26-2006, 11:09 AM

Hey gang.....I'm looking for an old range finder that was manufactured years ago.....it was a cheapo , sold for about $20 US....made of plastic , was nothing fancy. It had a little viewfinder with a little plastic knob that you would focus with blending two images together.....range was something like zero to 50 yards. Was built like a old 110 Kodak camera.....about a inch high....6 inches long.....bout 2 inches deep and had a decal on it that was camo pattern.
WHERE can I find one of these buggers???

Thanks for any info......Bob in Pa.

I bought one from Cabelas's back in the 80's and still have it. I have it with the Turkey hunting stuff!

Yeppp.....those things were " EL CHEAPO" when new.......your right, they are about 30 years old at least , if not more. But really they did work and got you in the ball park of a said yardage. It's good when your hunting a new spot that you have never been too before.....and instead of tramping around walking around spooking everything to get some yardage guesstamations,this will fit the bill. Darn, I can't afforf one of these new rangefinders.....those are for the guy who has everything including the $$$$$.
Any who.....I got the range finder off of ebay for $1.99 bid....plus a lil shipping......can't beat dat!!!! I'm grin 'n.
