I have a long range rifle that I handload for. I've fired it in registered shooting matches, and have shot it in field conditions at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 yards. This is off a bipod, not a bench. The gun will shoot, and I have a Leupold Vari X III with a mil-dot reticle that I've field calibrated for long shots. The caliber is 7mm Remington mag, which is too much gun for close range, but fine farther out.
I have an old range finder, but it's worthless beyond about 250 yards. The trouble is, that's exactly where I need it to start going to work; I don't need any accurate range estimation at less than 300 yards with this gun.
My old range finder will mark a bush or tree out to 250. Beyond 500, it won't usually pick up a house or truck.
I'm looking a range finder that will give a reading on a bush, tree, or the like out to about 500 yards. The trouble is, I'm trying to find one that will do it without breaking the bank. Like most folks, money is tight right now. There are a good number of things I truly 'need' more than a good range finder. So I'm trying to find a good one for the money.
Any suggestions?
