ShaggyRS6 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I was having a think this evening (It does happen) and I was wondering if you could get a scope with a range finder in built that will auto adjust to the target you have ranged? Now I was looking at the Zeiss Victory Diarange but I was not sure if you still had to make up and down and left and right adjustments.

naddan28 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I want it. Now to find out the price :thumbs: Nice work with the info Taffy lol I bet its a bit more than that spare £200! Also, didn't you get a range finder anyway?? Surely that and a MAP scope (or even mildot will suffice....)? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 OMG its only $899.00 I wonder if they are good though. Now must find a review. Dan, I am thinking for the HMR. Get a CZ and then spend the money I was going to on a Annie on the scope. The new Bushnell Yardage Pro 4-12x42 laser rangefinder riflescope offers hunters and target shooters three tools in one compact package. This innovative riflescope combines multi-coated optics with a laser rangefinder that accurately ranges targets from 30 to 800 yards with Bullet Drop Compensator turrets that quickly and easily adjust elevation to the displayed range. The scope comes with five Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) turrets calibrated to match the most popular calibers and bullet weights. In the field or at the range, the shooter uses a wireless trigger pad to activate the laser rangefinder. Once the distance is displayed in the scope, the BDC turret is adjusted to match the range, eliminating the need for hold-over. Once the shooter knows the range, the Mil Dot reticle can be used to compensate for windage and elevation. If the approximate size of the target or animal is known, the dots can be used to determine the lead on running shots or holdover on long shots. Each dot measures 36 inches at 1,000 yards. With its 30 to 800 yard ranging capability, it is ideal for both tree stand hunters and long distance varmint hunters. More info here if anyone is interested. http://www.bushnell.com/general/rangefinde...section=Hunting It would be a waste on a non FAC air file as the lowest range is 30 yards. However on a FAC rifle of any kind I rekon his is a winner. I am deffo gonna go this way now. A CZ American and this scope. I rekon putting money into the scope is the way to go. Thoughts anyone? Anyone on here got one? Used one? Heard Reviews? I shall pick it up when I am next in the States, next month. LB you want one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 That ad sounds a bit decieving i dont think it will adjust the turrets for you it will just give you the range and you adjust it yourself. Not so sure if they will make turrets for a .17hmr either. Optic clarity might be sacrificed as well due to the lcd. Think you money would be better spent on decent glass as you already have a rangefinder your just buying a gimick and you would really benifit from something with more magnification for longer shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 :thumbs: How about you just pay me full time to do your shooting for you instead...I can be your fully automated shooting person! Excuse MY ignorance but why don't you relish the skill of shooting??? Buy enough gadets and gizmo's and you'll take away all the reasons why we shoot...well, the rest of us anyway!

Bradders Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Got myself a Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 with the TRX Reticule. Cost me $100.00 (had someone fetch it for me when they went to the US) the list over here is over £160.00. Cupp, you may want to have a look at this web site, this is where I got the best deal for mine. You might have to get it shipped to your US office or your hotel so you can pick it up. I had mine shipped to my Bro's sister in law with no problems at all. Anyway the site is Optics Planet Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 in my experiance bushnell products are A) not as well made as alot of people claim) B ) Their range finders are little unreliable. Admitadly ive never seen this scope though. I have however used the swarovski and the zeiss equivilent which were frankly amazingly good. However i dont think you will get one suitable for airgun ranges or with a sidewheel (might be wrong). BTW i dont believe that any of these will make the adjustments for you, only show you the range. They come with different turrets which you instal and then once you read the range off the scope you then dial in the range on the turret. However as different airguns and guns use different loads with different BC's different velocities due to barrel length not to mention sea level and scope height, this is a very crude way of doing it, so in reality you would have to buy a turret and customise it to your gun, Waste of money in my honest opinion. Buy a range finder, you will soon pick up the ranges naturally enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 :thumbs: I dont have one but i think nearly everyone on here would recommend a MTC Viper 6-24x56 for a .17hmr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Thanks for the info guys and thanks for the tip of the Viper. Olly, I think you are right in saying it would take the skill away, something that I would not want to do. I'll look at the Viper for now, unless anything else tickles my fancy.

JohnGalway Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Viper is a very good scope, I own one (4-16x50) :thumbs: Been shooting out to 200+ yards with mine on the .223 so should be plenty good for a HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodmedod.one Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Lots of people seem to be saying that the MTC Viper Scopes are good bits of kit. Are they Centrefire rated, or just for Airguns and Rimmies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hello CupramanRR as i think you already have a range finder i think you are missled by this scope.All your scope's that display varmint or target ret's are all set to some of the most popular varmint cal's.A couple of my mate's have the swarovski 6x24x50-parallax & td4 ret with 2-3 line's below the main crosshair's witch you use at longer range's.My mate's have played with them & found the point of impact (POI) of the the retacule to there rifle bullet combo.All they do is range it guess wind drift & try on there target/varmint.1 of my mate's has just bought the same scope but with target turret's (BDC) for his 308 Mannlicher SSG as he's into target shooting too.I think your best option would be go for a good scope of 4x16x50 or 4x18x50 or 6x24x50 but a 4x16 is more than enough power to use effectivly & get (BDC) as most have it & range target (BDC) it & shoot it can be good fun & still take's a bit skill.

Dirty Harry Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I have a simmons wtc 6,5-20x50 on my hmr. I have shot rabbits at up to 190 paces just having the zero set at 100 yards. I don't think I would regulary shoot at that distance where I shoot and unless your going to shoot at very long ranges I cant see the point of that sight. I don't think the HMR warrants a rangefinding scope as if you shoot at a sensible range and it's set up right you will hit the target anyway. just my humble opinion.

taffygun Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I saw this yardage pro scope in Litts last year being demonstrated, while they were talking their usual bull about how magnificent this scope is and damn near bomb proof, another guy brought one back saying that he put it on his .223 and it knackered after the first shot. They are very tempremental apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 They are very tempremental apparently. they are bushnell bushnell do good optics if you go for low mag and basic. Dont try to get a fancy one they really dont work. I dont use mine above 18x because the clarity is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
