What's the best all around range finder?
« on: June 04, 2017, 08:05:04 PM »
Looking for a good all around range finder for muzzleloader/ archery hunting. Any suggestions that won't break the bank? Thanks Jason

I run the vortex ranger 1500. Angle comp, scan mode. Haven't had any issues plus can't beat the warranty.

I have the Vortex 1000, great unit at a decent price, even better now the 1500 came out.  For muzzy and archery range, you won't have a problem at all.

I had a problem with mine and they sent me a brand new unit to my door in under a week no questions asked.

Have the same one.  The angle comp helped me connect on a deer at 72 yards last year and a spike elk at 50.  The one piece of gear I wil not leave camp without. 
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...
