does anyone make a scope with a built in rangefinder? if so, does anyone know if they're any good? ETA: laser rangefinders specifically |

Shepherd system is simple and optical, no batteries to wear out or die. If you are shooting at targets of that are relatively the same size, it works well. Along the same lines, Premier Reticles used to install a hollow dot where you want it on leupold scopes. Redfield's system was also optical but I don't think anyone is producing it know. The Horus system trys to do everything and is pretty complex. If you don't have a laser RF, mil-dots can be effective too. HTH.....SRM |
Ask these guys. They make what your looking for. Its not cheap though. Several thousand dollars. www.usoptics.com |
those seem to use the mil-dot system, i didn't see anything on that site about laser rangefinders... |
Call and talk them on the phone. I did this some years ago. It was unreal what they were offering on a scope. Led read outs on the reticle. Laser rangefinder. Optoelectronic range finder. 50mm tube body...88mm objective lens....ocular(spelling?) lens bayonet attachment for night vision....thermal....4x through 50x....front focal plane....rear focal plane.....ect....ect...ect. I talked to the owner of the company many times about options. The proposal they sent me for the scope I wanted built came to about $8,000. Everything costs. [Edited to add] I didn't go with the night vision or range finder. |
