Rangefinders????
What do u guys out there think is a good ranger these days that gives u most for your money...I don't want anything over $400...it is goin to be mainly used for bowhunting from my treestands..lets hear it from the pros. I currently purchased the leupold rx 2 with the true ballistics ranging and i'm not too sure if I made a mistake...experiencing buyers remorse...help!!!!!!

The Bushnell Yardage Pro Scout works well and cost around $250, but it has some negatives that may make yours look a little more attractive. It's a battery hog and will drain batteries left in the compartment if you don't turn off the little switch on the battery cover. I don't know how much light your model gathers, but the Bushnell is a little dim and seems to have an overabundance of glare from the sun. Does that help?

Thanks for replying that was one of the other models i was looking ...I'm pretty sure leupold makes quality products, but when u test it in the store and in the field its two different things...keep it coming

Nikon 400 and I bow hunt mostly in thick woods.....works great. During gun season it seems to be fine for the long shots too. Seems it was around $250.00 a couple of years ago.
Good luck. Diann

I've got the Nikon 800 and it's great. I'll trade it for your Leupold though... There's a lot of steep up and down hill shots at goats here that make that True Ballistics feature mighty appealing.

the TBR seems almost confusing too use...it is a complicated model, but i've heard once you know how to use it it is a wonderful unit( well at least least thats what the guy at the store told me)
