Has anyone had any experience with the Wildgame Innovations R500X Rangefinder?

Thanks

I bet it finds ranges. I have one of their trail cameras. Not the greatest thing ever, but it takes pictures. I would assume the range finder would match up just as well.

if it's built as well as their game cam's.......stay as far away from them as you can!

I equate it to buying a leupold or a tasco scope. Id love to have a leupold on top of every rifle i own, but ive probably killed more deer from the time i was little with a tasco. Only time i ever missed would be my fault, not the scopes.

So, if youre looking for a range finder you are going to use on a $50,000 african safari, or a guided elk hunt id maybe splurge and go with a quality range finder. I have a leupold (under $200). If its for everyday use, or to use for archery and short distance, go with a cheap one. Itll work just fine.....Buy it at cabelas and they will replace it for free.

I learned years ago, to measure off twenty yards for archery, by using my arm. Didn't get charged extra for it.

I have the Halo 400 not the R500X. I like it so far the readings are acurate. For under $100 I think I got it for $80 on sale. Easy to use and acurate. I bow hunt mostly so that is what I got it for. As far as the ARC featured ones that is hype to me. I get up in a tree no higher than 13-15 feet so no need for that feature. As NebBuckHunter said If your Hunting budget can afford the High priced ones go for it!

Buddy had one and it wasn't the greatest. Had problems getting yardage of a parked car at 50 yards. He returned it and got a Nikon

I also use a Nikon 550 and it does pretty good. Don't need the elevation feature unless you hunt very hilly area.
