I purchased a Nikon rangefinder 400 for $199 at bass pro but have found it to be difficult to use unless the sun is moderately strong. The optics are 8x20 and the lenses probably don' t have good coatings, so light tranmission is not that great. I don' t really want to spend a fortune on such a device so I am wondering if the performance is any better on a bushnell or other similarly priced rangefinder. Since i also want to use it for rifle season, i want one that works out to 3-400 yds.

any ideas?

thx

i have a bushnell, gave about the same price, works fine, maybe a little hard to see the cross hairs and yardage in extremely low light, but i have nothing to compare it to. is your battery ok?????? might give it a try...just a thought

I have an old Bushnell that I bought years ago for the around $225. It works great even before shooting light at bowhunting distances. I also have a Scout that my son gave me for Xmas last year. It to seems to work fine in low light but not as well in rain etc as the Bushnell. I like it for bowhunting because of it' s size. If yours won' t work except in real good or bright light.... I' d take it back.
