Laser Range Finder

[Andy9816 1]

Thanks for the advise guys.

 

I have gone with the Hawke LRF 600, used it yesterday and it appears spot on. Got it for a good price from Redbeck Shooting Supplies, I paid £110.

I carried out some tests over measured distances up to 70 yards and metres using a tape measure and and a bucket as a target for the laser, and it was spot on. I also tried it on a football pitch and so long as the pitch is the correct size the LRF is spot on.

Anything beyond that will be purely for interest, so Im happy with its accuracy upto 50-60 yards.

Lol.......I was a Sjt in the picture. The pic was taken just outside Basra, not long after the invasion.

 

 

 

 

Edit:

That isnt a mis-spelling of "Sjt" either, I was in the Light Infantry, and we spell Sjt with a "J" not a "G"................its a long story as to why we do that!!!!!!!

I've just bought this one:

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120655725517&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

 

Hope it's not a lemon. Should be OK. 6x mag, water resistant. Will let you know.

Test it out, do a review, if your not keen bang it back on ebay as new get your money back and try again, im sure it will be fine tho mate

Not sure how useful this is gonna be. Unit has been sent back to seller. Couldn't get it to work at all at first. Then got a single mark at 161yds. After about 30 tries I had about four results, none closer than 57yds.

Thing is, it looks the same as the Guntuff and a few others. Probably made by the same people and badged differently. I don't want to be too harsh on the product because I know that there are many Ebay sellers who deal in returns and this may well be one of them. He says he'll refund with no problem but it's still cost me the return postage. Won't be buying another from Ebay.

At least the guy is willing to refund you.

As I stated in an earlier post, im very happy with the one I finally bought. (Hawke LRF600) Does what I want it too, and it appears to be pretty accurate.

It maybe worth taking a look at one in your local Gunshop. Failing that Redbeck Shooting Supplies(Where I bought mine) do mail order.

Looks exactly the same as the GunTuff that people love so much, but with a different name printed on it.

 

They've stopped selling them now, sold out!
