Degsey 28 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 ok folks I have a question . Who uses range finders and do they work in the dark. If so can anyone recommend one for around 150.00 cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Have a look at the Custom rifle scopes UK website Degsy. They do a handheld NV rangefinder and a scope mounted one - they're both around the £130 mark. I've got the handheld one - it works well and, it's a solid piece of kit. The service from this company is good and, delivery was quick. Atb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,340 Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I just had a quick look at their website Dave - the spec on the scope mounted one says it'll go up to 800 mtrs. I reckon that must be the limit of their laser. Atb mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toxo 160 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I use the scope mounted one. Got a mount on the 22lr and the 17hornet and wouldn't be without it. Just adjust the pulsing beam so it's in the center of the crosshairs. In use you press the rat tail type pad and it comes on. Press again and it will give the range in yds or meters. Press again and it switches off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tremo 138 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 My mate uses one just like Toxo describes. He has it on his .22LR and really rates it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpot 4,925 Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 I have the NiteSite rangefinder which is spot on although more expensive than the one above. I am just about to test a Photon XT on my rimfire and will also fit the rangefinder to that so it should be just right. These things are a total game changer...............................buy one Degsey, you will not regret it mate. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do have extra features that we won't use such as checking speed like a radar gun. They do work in daylight but you won't see the pulse without an IR camera. You just have to point it at large targets like a nearby tree Instead of a rabbitThey have aiming marks that are accurate and the readout is coloured and bright enough to see in full daylight. I love that I can switch from the hornet to the 22lr via a mount on each scope. As Phill says, if you don't use a rangefinder, especially at night you have a nice surprise coming.
