Bisbee Report post Posted July 28, 2014 I'm looking to get a rangefinder. Straight answers are hard to find. I can not afford european quality, don't go there. I want to range out to 600 yards. I'm looking at the nikon 1000 riflehunter and prostaff 7. The Bushnell arc 1000 &1300 and vortex 1000. Tell me your experiences and what you know. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesPursuit Report post Posted July 28, 2014 Leupold RX-1000I TBR W/DNA runs in high $300's and has treated me very well. I've never had trouble ranging anything less than 650 yards and have ranged objects on most days to the high 700's. I have a had a couple hunting buddy's that have had issues with them, 1 self induced and the other unknown, but Leupold warrantied and quickly shipped back both rangefinders providing great customer service. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup. I like mine. A huge improvement over the older models. I compared the Leupold to the Vortex and liked the Leupold better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues assassin Report post Posted July 28, 2014 Riflehunter 550 I know you said 600 but if you can give up 50 yards for the price it can't be beat IMO and you can find them used fairly cheap 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyDesert Report post Posted July 30, 2014 One more vote for the rx1000. I have the old version without DNA and it's never let me down. I like how small it is too, fits nice in a shirt pocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dustin25 Report post Posted August 1, 2014 I bought a Bushnell truth for 150 new and it ranges to 550 for me pretty darn well,has the angle compensation,and has worked perfectly so far,but I've only had it about 6 months.seems pretty great for the price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bgshooter Report post Posted August 6, 2014 Just bought the RX1000 TBR from Cabelas today. On sale for 299 plus I had a 10% off coupon. I played around with one during the Ben Avery Expo a few months ago and I think I'll enjoy using this for many years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played around with one during the Ben Avery Expo a few months ago and I think I'll enjoy using this for many years. I just got mine too from Cabelas except with a $20 off coupon. Sounds like you got a little better deal. I was going to buy the Bushnell Scout 1000DX, but I couldn't pass up this deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
