[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1151397, member: 74902"] Boca, Most hunters range the animal itself, if at all possible, because at long range it is difficult to tell how far past or in front of the tree the animal actually is. In your situation you will definitely be ranging the animal. Rangefinders typically range consistently on game to about 1/2 the rated distance of the Rangefinder. The Bushnell you have will probably work well to about 400 yards. Another issue with rangefinders is called beam divergence which has to do with the width of the laser beam, the smaller the better. Smaller beam divergence will allow you to successfully range game at greater distances when they are standing in open flat areas. Lucky for you there is a new innovative rangefinder on the market that is getting very good reviews and is reasonably priced. It is challenging the performance of some other expensive rangefinders that have dominated the market for a while. Read the thread link below. Lots of good info on the Sig Sauer kilo 2000. Some very knowledgeable LRH forum members have done some comparisons on the thread. The rangefinder might be slightly above your budget, but is a real deal at the price it sells for and may will be the only rangefinder you ever need.
