    Best Range Finder of 2016?

    hey all,

    just wondering, what are you guys currently using range finder wise? or what would you prefer to be using ??
    i have seen various other posts but they are all dated a year or two + ago, and obviously things change every 5 mins tech wise..

    so wondering what you guys recommend ?
    what are you using at the min ? Pros & Cons ?
    budget is "flexible" ie more time to save if needed..

    whats best and what types are best ?
    day only, or day & night ?

    Best ,range finder 2016

    Hawke 600 lrf its better than the 400 because it fits your hand better, as a result you can hold it stable with one hand and take accurate readings. The smaller range finders move when you press the button and you need to use both hands to hold them steady.

    The technira night vision range finder its cheap and it works out to 120 yds in darkness.

    What do you want it for? Our friends seem to be recommending £2000.00 range finding binos. Good to take out an ISIS terrorist I guess but does a rabbit warrant so much money spent on a range finder? But then again you did ask for the best.
    That Technira NV range finder is a bargain at £139.00.

    lol, yeah i did get what i asked for i guess but yeah wabbits/pidgeys etc,
    i'm relatively good at fieldcraft, but i don't think i could take out a member of isis with a HW100 before i got hosed with an AK.. :P

    i think i might pickup a combo package, just thought i would see what people recommended.
