Lazs or others in area...Range Finder?
« on: May 22, 2006, 12:53:14 PM »
I need a range finder for a day or two to map out points at a range im puting together..I need atleast 400yds max..

None of my friends who hunt.."mostly water fowl" have one..

Not sure IF Lazs needs one with his wheel guns..but it doesnt hurt to ask...Russian?

zeiss! Its big $ but worth every cent. I have a bushnell that i use for bowhunting  great little range finder but after 100 yards it can get trikky. The zeiss is point and shoot almost every time. I bought one after going to west texas with a friend, last rang finder i will ever need.

any reason you can pace it out? i find myself counting paces every night, and marking 'ranges' to known objects that way. Gives my brain something to do while i exercise my legs and heart. ;)

For me, 110 paces = 100 yards.

it may be to much of a pain for you to use, but a friend of mine had a very cheap(under $30) range finder he used for golf.

it worked by measuring the hight of the flag on the green.

if you had someone to take a similar sized flag down range and worked together like a survey team it should get the job done cheap.

nah just a tiny .223 Eagle Arms

its a small area in the middle of my father inlaws ranch in the ..um ...sierra's area

Its not an offiical range yet..I need to hang some signs..His brothers son came up ....little bastard was shooting my Pistol targtes with a .223..put holes through them...

if i cant get a fancy lazer..I may try the ..golf store range ..then maybe do a "return"  after im done with it..
I would really rather spend my money on ammo then $200 for a range finder...

Its gonna be awhile before the AH shooting club makes it up here...give me some time....Im going to need to shoot with you guys in a more 'public " place before we go rambo..lolol


btw russian..just shot a 75 round drum mac90; ) the other day..oh my gatos!!! I need one

I have been going to a scrap yard to buy steel...its expensive.

Really nice to hear it get gonged though...such a difference firing a .308..then a .223..the 223  really hear it sizzle the air before it hits


I hung  2x -10" x 10"  plates above each other to practice my "mozambique Triple tap...dam i love shootn

LAzs..you sell .45acp reloads? : )

It is illegal to sell reloads without a licence but.... If we go shooting together you can shoot up all that I bring... no charge.

bgb... I only reload for fun... 30 year old single stage press.  I am not into volume reloading.  I can maybe do a couple hundred an hour.  

You can by a progressive press and such and do 500 plus and hour but it is not what I am into.   I enjoy putting em together and checking each one.

Stop by and I will give you a box or two to try.   I have like 12,000 45 cases so don't need brass.
