I have the option of choosing a Nikon 400 yard LRF or Nikon/Callaway 800 yard LRF from my company's reward catalog.
1) Would I actually use an LRF hunting? (Deer/Mule Deer/Elk) 2) Is the "golf" model the same as the hunting model in terms of technology? 3) Do I need 800 yard capability realistically? Opinions welcome... |

Do you hunt with a binos, spotting scope and want to pack something else? Idealy you spot with the binos then range, dope the wind and fire. 2. Don't know but I bet stuff marked golf won't work in the bitter cold and rain. 3. 400-800... Do you shoot at 800yds and can you hit a basket ball at that distance? I would practice a lot before trying to shoot an elk past 300 yds and 300 is a long way under field conditions. For the money I would rather range with moa hashes, mildots or a duplex reticle than a laser the laser is fun and nice and all but it's just not my bag but then I hunt inside 200 yds. I have found to me anything past that is just target shooting. |
