| What are the best rangefinders under $400 bucks. I don't neccesarally need the angle correction, but the distance and accuracy on non reflective targets are what I'm looking for. What is the longest distance, both reflective and non-reflective at this price level, including some that might be on sale. |

Bushnell Elite 1500 I bought this from cabelas for my last rifle hunt. Extremely consistent results.. EASILY ranges rocks out to 1100 yds, the longest I've ranged was 1554 unsupported. Tripod mount on the bottom will give you better results for accurate 1200+ yds. It has angle correction, it also has some built in rifle drop charts, I don't use them because I reload and haven't wanted to spend time with it, but it could be useful with factory ammo. It takes 9v batteries which after 6 months I'm still on the same battery. I give this a +1 |

I really like the Nikon Monarch 1200. Some have suggested this rangefinder compares to a Leica for half the cost. The optics are very clear and the LCD is very quick and easy to read. I have been very pleased with this Nikon's performance.
BTW - I looked at the Bushenell Elite 1500 and thought the ranging and optical clarity was definitely good. However, I thought the battery compartment door was a joke. The little clamp and O-ring design really needs to be improved -as it doesn't look very waterproof. I much prefer the standard screw cap and O-ring design on the Nikon -for its water-tightness. |

I've got a Nikon Monarch Gold 1200 w/ Camo finish I am selling. It is in unused condition. I ranged with it twice to make sure it works before I sell it. Asking $350 Shipped.
