Default Range Finder Help

Guys I'm looking to buy a range finder. I had a Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport last year and it was an absolute piece of junk. Once it got down to about 20 degrees it would fog over and wouldn't work. Any thoughts on a good range finder. Ones you use and like?

Andy

IMO, you may wish to look at the Leicas. They are not cheep, but may be one of the best available.

+1 I just bought a nikon 550 and I love it. It's simple and I've heard they are super reliable.

In theconsumer realm of LRF'sbeside theswarovski haven't foundonethat comparesto a Leica. You won't regret buying a leica CRF or LRF rangemaster (if you can find one still).

Seems like I post this link every year. Good information on quality rangefinders. I used this link in helping me make my decision. (Leica CRF 1200) Good luck.
