RANGE FINDER

DAMMITDON
Would a range finder be ok for spotting deer?How much magnification do they get.I use 10x50 bino's but I would like a range finder when shotgun slug hunting.I dont like shooting a 12ga slug more than 100 yards

    I've never used a rangefinder for hunting, though I have one. It's just something else to have to carry. My scope has gradiant lines that allow me to estimate the range, similar to the Hensholdt ZF-4

    I use an 8" target zone and zero in at 150 yrds. I aim point blank out to the maximum range I can where the bullet doesn't rise or drop more than 4" from POA.

    The best invention since the shirt pocket. If you are hunting out here in the west, don`t leave home without one. I like my Nikon. I use it when hunting everything from ground squirrels to elk.

    I have the Nikon Riflehunter model, and I like it real well. It isn't too big, it's easy to operate, and it's very acccurate, within a yard at 100 yards. I got it for a christmas present, so I can't say for sure what it costs, but I'm sure it wasn't the most expensive one, but like I said, I like it real well.

    I have a Leupold RX-III, and one of the first Simmons that came out 15 years ago. I hardly ever use it to range an animal, but use it to range zones, so I know the distance when an animal appears there.

    I also somewhat subscribe to the MPBR theory with maximum point blank range. Most of my rifles are sighted in so, out to 300 yards, hold dead center on the chest, and you are going to have fresh backstraps. Actually, it is a dead on zero at 200 yards for most rifles with a 30-06 like, or better trajectory.

    Best
