    Hi all im looking to buy a rangefinder and wanted to get some recommendations from ye if possible, I would like one that incorporates the "arc" into the reading also I would like it to be able to give me moa click value for dialling in the turret and also gives me other readings too like scan rain modes etc thanks in advance and it also has to range in yards and meters

    In terms of a recommendation look no further than Leica. Glass quality is excellent, ranging is repeatable and accurate, long range ranging excellent, and also reasonably priced compared to other high quality brands. I;d look at either the LRF or CRF 1200.


    It does not have a ballistic option. However all the accessories yuou are seeking might be available but only in some of the more very high end or extremely pricey ones. But how much do you need. I looked through a friends rangefinder and the amount of crap that came up on the screen made it almost hard to see what i was looking at.

    A better option than a rangefinder might be the Gen III laser, ballistic scopes from the likes of Bushnell, etc. They are rifle mounted and do most everything you need. They range, compensate for bullet drop without the need for MOA/clicks (as it moves the crosshair), etc.

    Just a thought.

    How about Bushnell Fusion rangefinding binos? It has absolutely everything what you have listed. ( if thats what you r looking for)It ranges 1600 yards with no problem. Glass is not as great as high end binos but so isn't the price;-)

    I second the suggestion Cass made in Leica. I have an LRF 1200 and it is fantastic.

    Secondly, if you are shooting far enough that you have to have a range finder, no range finder is going to be calibrated to your exact rifle/ammo/scope/atmospherics combination on that day in that exact place that it will be able to give you accurate data.

    Even the most high end ballistic programs have built in the ability to true the data they generate in acknowledgment that real life DOPE can never be 100% predicted and needs to be fine tuned to the exact rifle/shooter.
