hawke laser range finder

does anyone have a hawke ranger finder or know what they are like. i was looking at buying a new one. 215 euro for a 600 yard one seems ok. i have a hawke scope and for the price i find it very good and was just wondering if there range finders are as good. any advice would be welcome

Hi i do not have a hawake but have a leupold range finder as the saying goes you get what you pay for, do a review and see what comes up, best of luck.

I had one, LRF400 - worked perfect, never had a problem with it.

I've a LRF400 too, about 4 years old now, no bother from it yet, works perfectly in low light but as the numbers aren't illuminated they're hard to read unless your'e using a light or something for contrast.

I bought a Hawke LRF 600 on amazon for 209 euro and have to say its brilliant accurate readings every time, like Holdover said the numbers arent illuminated but i have not had any difficulty reading them.

As others have said it works perfect in low light but reading can be tricky.
After taking a reading - if the moon is visible point at the moon to read or use the screen of your phone over the objective lens (less than ideal but works).

It might be worth having a look on ebay, I bought mine there for half price.....plenty on there at the moment too.
