I recently put a post on here about laser range finders. It got no replies in several days. Now I can't even find the post. Have I done something wrong on this forum & everyone is choosing to ignore me? My last 2 posts got very little to no responses. All I want is a recommendation from someone that is familiar wit them. I am thinking about buying one. I have been reading up on sales sites, but wanted some real world advice.

Thanks,
Mark

I have been looking at the Nikon 8377 Riflehunter 1000 Rangefinder. I have read good things but would like input from a shooter that has used it. Seems like not many people use rangefinders.

I use the Nikon Riflehunter 1000 and like it fine.  Bought it on sale locally for $280.  Furthest I have used it so far is 600 yards and it performed well.  Good accuracy and repeatability.  I am very satisfied with it.

I think you'll get exactly what you pay for on rangefinders. I had an old Bushnell 800 that was ok but even with the internal light option, it was difficult to read in low light. So I bit on a Leica CRF900 and it is fantastic with the red LED display. I have been able to range my neighbor's house "thru" my living room window, go over to the open doorway and get the same distance - I find that pretty neat. The objective on the Leica is a bit larger than most so it's brighter and the optics are as good as what half the public carries for binoculars - ymmv. It will range off of trees, leaves, bushes, a patch of ground in the field, it's remarkable what this unit will sense. I don't live out west where I'd be shooting hundreds of yards at elevated positions so the angle compensation is useless to me for bowhunting and woodchucks. Good luck.
