[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2854970, member: 118816"] Just so you know, I do have a range finder and use it a lot. The best use for it when hunting is to range different objects in my hunting area to see how far away they are before any animal comes into view. That way I have a very good idea what distance that I will be shooting at. If hunting my normal area I pretty well have the different ranges memorized, when in a new area I range objects, write them down on a piece of paper for a ready reference. That way, for instance I know that the intersection of those two farm roads is exactly 228 yards. I don't have to fumble around with the range finder or try to range it using the scope reticle and all the math involved. Just simply hold where I need to hold on the target and shoot when the trigger breaks and send the round heads down range to the target. I can hold dead on since the rifle is sighted in at 200 yards. Works well and saves time when whatever animal I am hunting shows up unexpectedly, which is almost always the case. By the way if I'm shooting the .270 a dead on hold is good out to 300 yards, the max range I will shoot at an animal. [/QUOTE]
