Rangefinder for 3 Gun

Pgrogan · Nov 4, 2014

Looking for a range finder primarily for use in 3 Gun. I don't do any long range shooting. Other than total yards and brand name what specific qualities should I be looking for in a good one? Thanks in advance for the help.

I bought this one from Leupold after a few 3-gun guys said they liked it.

Several guys also recommended a similarly priced bushnell. I can't remember the nomenclature.

Both were available at Optics Planet where you can save 5% with discount code

Looks like that range finder is perfect for the 3GN pros (max range is 125 yards) but what do you do for shots past 150 yards?

(I see its reads to 1000 yards but is only accurate to 125?)

Same Leupold on sale at Midway for $299.99. I have the Vortex Ranger but the Leupold also works well.

Was just thinking about this at my last match. Would be very helpful for those longer shots

That said something sbout Archers which I'm assuming meant archery in conjunction with the TBR feature. It's good to 1000 if you can hold still long enough to hit what you're aiming at.

Let me look at mine to be sure I got the model right.

Not having any luck finding it at Midway. Do you have a link or maybe they are sold out?

Thanks.

Thank you sir.

Jessie, is it the same model?

Early Christmas present to me.

If you are in the OKC area you might call gear sears. I bought the newer model RX 1200i for 340 if I remember right. You might call em even if you won't be in the area they may ship it to you.

This is what I have. I think they all work good enough for 3-gun accuracy.

This is the one I use

Midway is out of stock onthe 1000. I won't be back in OKC until mid-January but will check out Gene Sears. Checked their website and it seems to be geared for "dealers only".

Thanks.
