Redfox Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 And when the battery goes flat? just another scope. But I do like bells and whistles. Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Southener, I'd be really interested to know if you can get any readings at night with a lamp Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 ive used my lieca LRF800 under the lamp with no problems, (technically) laser rangefinders should work better at night as its the detection of the beam bouncing back from the target that determines the range, therefore the darker the surroundings the more chance of the reflected infra red beam being detected and therfore a range being displayed, the rangefinder in a scope jobbie looks great tho, often havent got the time to range whilst out lampin!

SOUTHERNER Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Southener, I'd be really interested to know if you can get any readings at night with a lamp Cheers Steve Dont see why not my Bushnell r/finder works pretty well at night Hope to wack it on the AR at the w/end for a spot of foxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Why Panther, some people like it simple (me) and others want bells whistles flat batteries but each to his own. What don't you like about the item/ idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsm Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I was always taught not to point a gun at anything that wasn`t the intended target and toys like that will only encourage bad practice and eventually lead to accidents Much better a pair of integral binos or a dedicated rangefinder Just my opinion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 The ziess one is supurb and will range at night, but at £1750 they are just a little bit more expensive than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes pretty much agree panther/WSM. Besides safety, I also come to the thinking that one tool for one job is ideal, unless your talking big money other wise everything is a trade off and compromise. A bit like buying an estate car instead of a van, you think it will do everything but it won't. Pricing for the market can sometimes be the reason. Not knocking it but............. Is it an excellent scope, probably not. Is it an excellent range finder, probably not. Is it what you want/need maybe? Its the good old, Horses for courses. Me, I have a Leica 1200 and I'm pretty happy with that , can't see me changing. Yes it would be nice to carry less items but for the above reasons I ain't changing.

SOUTHERNER Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi guys, I appreciate your replies, but i feel i must address this safety issue that seems to have arisen. While i understand your concerns. I have not , do not and will not use my scope to scan the field or point my rifle at anything unless i intend to shoot it..... I have held my SGC for over 20 years and my FAC for nearly 15 years and to date havent shot anybody or thing i wasnt intending too. Time will tell with the scope, its going on my AR this afternoon for a bit of zero/range time. And then up the farm tonight to see how it performs in the real world.
