SSS Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I have got a budget of about £100, don't really want to spend more than that because I'm saving for a .223, but anyway, what can I get for about this money? Will I be better buying new or secondhand Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albob Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 as you want to get a 223,then a 400yrd one will do,the jsr one is a good option and within your budget. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ask yourself do you really need one? I bought one when I was in the states and it certainly does not help me put anymore quarry in the bag. It gets used for two things, rangeing 100 metres for a zeroing session, and then again when I am sat in a highseat and bored I tend to range in various inaminate objects. Otherwise I tend to use it after a shot has been taken, so I know whether it was 120 yards or 130 yards etc. In my opinion they really are little more than a toy.

Dougy Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Sam, you have put in for a 223, all the best to you regards the grant of that. In time and with practice, and if you get into it more, for example start to load your own, you have a calibre that is capable of 300 - 400 yard shots, and even more. Then you will find the benefit of a range finder more than usefull to work out your bullet drop. But as said 100-200 yards no point just zero a bit high at 100 (1inch) and aim centre on your target I use one now and again mainly on new permisions to give me an accurate reading of distances accross fields, so if i happen to see the fox i'm after i have an idea of the distance, also if i'm out doing what i call long range bunnie shooting to me thats just under 300 yards (i know to some it aint long range but i'm only a novice ) yes they are usefull i have a bushnell yardage pro 500, cost me £150 a few years back Edited December 27, 2009 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Cheers guys, I want one for when I get my .223 sorted. Its mainly for zeroing but also for judging distance. I ought to save my money by the sounds of things then. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
