Range finder question
I want to purchase a range finder because i cant determine distance after 100 yards. I am hunting with a 7mm rem mag rifle and will probably not take a shot over 200 yards. It would be nice to know the approximate distance, because i know i can shoot flat to 200 yards.
Would i need to buy a $175.00+ lazer range finder, or would a cheapy golf digital range finder be suffiecent.
Thanks for your opinions

RE: Range finder question
If that's the only distance you're interested in (under 200 yds and you know your gun shoots flat to 200 ds) - I'd find a field and pace or measure off 200 yds and practice looking at it - using your scope. With practice you can get pretty good at estimating short distances like this.

With that gun, just sight it in at 200 and put you cross hairs where you want it. It will be ok for up to 300+ yards. My 7mmrum shots very flat out to 400 yards with my hand loads.
