Anyone know of any range-finding glass thats useful in the 300-500 yard range ?

Does such a creature exist ?

oooh... and how much is that?

[CSestp]

I played around with one of those in the store, seemed pretty good. Only thing is it can take a little bit to get the actual range. It wasnt instant, i think it ran about 800 dollars.

ouch.. might have to stick with my old Redfields for a while.. Their rangefinders do work fair if you throw in a little human intuition.

[ApacheCoTodd]

Oh yeah - Old Redfields with Accutrac, in particular 3x9. My dead favorite, go-to scope. I buy every one I see in rebuildable condition at a decent price.

[cyclopsshooter]

Me too

I have the Nikon version and while I really enjoy how it mounts and the quick range report, I am not a fan of its weight.

Stadia wires have been used for rangefinding for over 150 years now. Mil dots are a modern variation on that theme.

I have a Shepherd scope that is hands free, fast and works quite well. Somewhere I also have a Leatherwood scope that was a waist of money.

[4v50 Gary]

Jim. I tried a Shepard at a NRA show years ago. Fast and easy to use. Nothing mechanical to break down, maintain or buy batteries for.

it's a very cool concept and i hope it takes off, but keep in mind that there can be implementation issues. e.g. sometimes you might want to range something w/o pointing your rifle at it. sometimes the terrain and conditions make it difficult to get a reading laying on the ground and you have to take a knee (not sure what causes it... think it has to do with some reflection/mirage stuff that is heavier a few inches off the ground)
