I've never seen this rangefinder until reading your post but I'd also love to know who makes it and what the specs are.

Its a bushnell.

I bought one just for using at the range or in the field. Something cheap, cause i dont have the money for a good one (plus i got staff discount on it).

I notice the more expensive one on the website they give the yardage. This model, nothing.

The one I bought from my store (store # 466 in Duncan) is a Bushnell Sport 450. It does give you yardage and meters. These specs are right off of the box:

- 4x Magnification
- 20mm Objective Lens
- Digital Technology
- +/- 1 Yard accuraccy
- Pocket size
- Water resistant
- 9 Volt battery needed

[fogducker]

well i see all kinds of ad,s in the forums looking for a range to find in this city or that one..but i neaver see any one charging moneys for the info

 

[Sesshomaru]

Who made it?

I remember an article from Varmint Hunter said even the most expensive Leupold range finders were made in China!

 

[Grizzlypeg]

No, I meant the Ad refers to maximum yardage only in the Ad's description of the expensive one. In the Ad's description of the $99 rangefinder, it gives no such specification.

I have had several models of rangefinders, including Bushnell and Leupold. My lesson has been that you need to spend some money to get a good one. I now have a Leica and would have saved a lot of wasted time and gas had I bought it first. I can just imagine what $99.00 will get you

Although I would not expect too much from that one, I'm interested to hear how it does out to 300-400 yards.

I'm more intersted in what it will do under 50yrds. Would be nice for bow hunting.

Between the three of them they have 30 years experience, that's pretty good.
