Wife wants to get her dad a range finder. Most likely from Cabelas. Her budget is $300 which I know is really on the low end for these things. Any tips or recommendations on getting something decent. I assume he will be using it for deer hunting mostly. Lives in W. NY so quite cold. I know leupold and nikon are good brands. Thanks.

| You need to be more specific as to your requirement and activities. Is he bow, shotty, or rifle hunting deer? If he is bow hunting Leupold makes a rangefinder you mount on the bow that you zero with the sights. Would that be an option or would he prefer a handheld one that can be used for other uses? You can a pretty decent rangefinder for under $300. Check out SWFA.com. My friend has a Leupold RX-1000, and it is excellent. That is out of your price range, but you can get a RX-750 for under $300. |
