ChrisR Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 After looking at all the cheap options available I decided to go with this Nikon 440 in Realtree camo. It was purchased via E-bay from a dealer in the USA & cost £103 . The cheapest I could find in the UK was £179 delivered from Optics Warehouse. It’s incredibly small & very easy to use & it seems to be very accurate. I know it’s exactly 20 yards to the base of a tree in our front garden & it confirms that spot on. I will try it out later at longer ranges when I walk the dogs this evening. I took the pictures through the view finder with my phone so sorry about the quality.

JohnGalway Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have had one for the past while, use it out foxing and corvid bashing. Good in the day time. The optics are on the dark side once the light goes though, even under the lamp. One trick I use when I can't range a fox is to pick an object at a distance on par with the fox, anything you can see will do, rock etc and range that. Has worked well for me in the past. 500 yards was the farthest I got mine to range, but that was on a house. It'll also range birds in flight if you use the scan mode. Nice little RF otherwise, good luck with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 tried it a longer range tonight when walking the dogs. Its pretty good but you need to hold it very steady to get a good reading at ranges over 250 yards. Chris No its not a Pikey camp, its the Enviroment Agency clearing up after finishing re-lining our local lock chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
