    Need a new range finder

    I currently have a Bushnell yardage pro 450, and it works great on a target range out to a couple hundred yards. But go in the woods and it's more like 30-40 unless you have a big solid object to aim at.

    I need some recommendations for a good inexpensive range finder. I'd like to keep it under $200 if possible.

    Are the WGI range finders worth anything?

            Have used this little redfield on Co rifle elk hunt last year and bowhunting this year. It would not range an animal past 510 yds on the elk hunt , but that worked out cause I needed to get within 300 yds anyways. great size, easy to operate and for $ 170.00 hard to beat, no complaints.

              I know the price is a little high but the Leica is the best I have ever used and I have tried a bunch. Have had one for 5-6 years. Always work. Easy and the aiming reticle glows red, perfect for low light. If you spend a little extra now you won't have to replace it in a year or two.

                the Bushnell Pro Scout with arc is a sweet range finder. I have used it for 3 years now and its never failed me.

                I recently left it in the bow blind for 2 weeks... and my pop up blew away with the range finder laying on the ground... in the rain.

                I picked it up, cleaned it off and it still worked!

                PUMPED!

                  I have an older 400 and a newer 500x

                  The newer is far better and much faster. It ranges really well to 600 yards. I tested the rangerfinder and it is working very well and consistent. But that is my .02.

                    How about between the Redfield 550 and the Nikon Prostaff 550?
