Looking to get a new rangefinder for both bow and rifle use. I think i have settled on the Luepold RX-800i TBR but would like some additional input other than the salesman or store reviews. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thx

what about one for a budget of $150-200?
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Leica would be my choice but the cheapest one will be a bit more than your budget depending on the ranging distance.

Friend gave me a 1000 yard Ranging range finder. Way slower than a laser, but never misreads. Took me a while to figure it out, but no batteries to die or limbs in the way.

I had the RX700. Worked great and as advertised. With that said, when I get another, I'll go with the RX1000. A little more magnification and range.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR
