Post by: trophyhunt on September 21, 2016, 02:18:05 PM: Is this a good rangefinder? Seems like a good price, anyone?

That's no good, I keep looking at some of the cheaper ones for bow hunting and I don't see many that say waterproof??

Condensation is worse for electronics than exterior moisture.
I got a Nikon Prostaff 3 on closeout for around $169 and I really like it but can't say it's been tested by the elements yet.
Watch for a premium brand on closeout.
Leupold rfs are not well-regarded.
