Looking for a range finder capable of 1,500 - 4,000 yards. Any suggestions? I will be picking up a 375 Cheytac in the VERY NEAR future and need a no BS range finder capable of accurate ranging at the distances provided. Thoughts? Safari James USMC DRSS | ||

I was with two guys setting up some very long range targets two weeks ago for a match. Note: I'm not a long range shooter and was along for slave labor. I had my old reliable leica 1200, very useful for hunting distance. For the other two: one had a Vectronix, the other a G7. I couldn't even come close on some targets that were beyond 1000 and on a sloped hill. Maybe a 1600 leica would do the trick, don't know. The Vectronix and G7 both did great WAY out there, seems like 1800 and beyond. They both were able to hit every target and came up with very close numbers. My 1200 works great for its use: ranging critters in realistic hunting situations. It didn't do the trick at all for ranging targets WAY out there. | |||

Vectronix is your best bet. Be warned, they are expensive. _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

Always keep in mind that those things are effective only half the distance they claim..My optics guy explained that to me, in detail and complicated my life so I am taking his word for it since he is a broker of optics. I decided to just sight in my rifles at 3" high at 100 yards and hold dead on if I shoot low, its too far away!!

There's a Vectronix(Leica)Vector 21 over on Gunbroker. A "tad" pricey.....but WAY below retail. Kevin | |||

I used a brand of rangefinder that would go out to 4 kilos, but it didn't give you a ballistic solution. But even the G7 doesn't give it past 1400...and for good reason. | |||

Devo What you need is one of the Optical "Coincidental" Artillery rangefinders made by Wilde [Swiss company} or one of the Danish Artillery Optical Rangefinders made by Zeiss... They used to be sold by a company called Dutche Optic. They do not use batteries, and go to around 20,000 yards or so depending on the model. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||
