I probably won't use this much, but I might on occasion. It's a kydex holder for a Leica rangefinder, with a tripod threaded insert. It's 1/4 x 20 insert, got it off Amazon. Got the kydex from some scraps at a local gun shop. Heat it in the toaster oven, and molded it over a rifle barrel, and did the final molding with a heat gun. I didn't want to wrap hot kydex on anything that says "Leica"so I was very careful.

Kydex is handy stuff. Might be good for all kinds of optics accessories.



If I am working, hunting season is too far away to imagine. If I am getting things ready for hunting season, opening day is perilously close.

Guess in a varmint calling set up that would be handy.

Should be OK for varmints or big game from a blind, spot and stalk from a pickup..For actual walking and hunting I limit what I pack to a gun and ammom binocs and a knife..so the range finder and a tree or rock suits me best..If I don't forget to use it and that happens most of the time..
