hunter686 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi guys, Im in the market for an RF for Circa 600 yard varminting. Budget is around £250 new or second hand I'm not bothered. I notice there was a post further down with similar properties but didnt really help much in all honesty. Any input appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akeld Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 The older models a relatively bomb proof, model numbers 900, 1200 usually come up in your price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have the old 1200 (not for sale) and can thoroughly recommend it. The beauty of the old one is it has a switch inside so you can have yards or meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter686 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the input guys, iv just bought a Vortex Ranger 1000 from a fellow member. Work's a treat! Nailed a tree out my bedroom window at 1136 yards so i think it will do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I have a Vortex 100 RF. Bought for your budget. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Well made. Case and lanyard. Has an inclinometer option which I wanted. Accurate. 6x lens so good for spotting. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 i found leica picked out small things like crows on a drilled field at say 600 yds with the best precision so far.not had a vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 do you shoot many trees at 1136 yards? I'm sure the Vortex will be just fine-esp as it has CZ V's endorsement. Sometimes-well mostly- rangefinders can be quite fussy about reflectance/target size and might not pick up a magpie (despite the white bits!) on the ground beside a tree 1136 yards away...too far for the average bedroom window shot anyhow!! It does give some confidence,joking aside-first 12-42 Night Force I bought I could see crows on a tv aerial on a house way over 1000y away-and see which way they were looking......seemed like an invasion of their privacy! Good spotting and shooting. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
