Golf & shooting range finders, what's the difference, Golf ones seem better value for money regardless of make, any reason? What's the main difference if any? Maybe one for either Pro or Hawkeye? |

I have a Leica rangefinder, some old bu99er left it in his unlocked car so i nabbed it - not really - mine is a Leica 900 which I got of Fleabay. Leica updated their rangefinder a coupe of years ago so the old style whci are a little more box shaped started selling at a much lower rate but still excellent bits of kit. The number refers to the distance they can range to i.e 900 or 1200 yards / metres (switchable) and they work in the dark. |

Andy it was about 3 weeks ago on my drive. Only me to blame, some lads were washing it and asked if i wanted the windows inside doing i was busy reloading at the time so never thought just said yes and unlocked it.. Noticed it had gone a couple of hours later when i went to the motor to get some thing out.i used to carry it in the pocket behind the drivers seat.......Just waiting till i see the bas***ds again..

Pro, that wasn't the question, the question was what's the difference between golfing ones and shooting ones? |

I don't see that there should be any difference, you pick a point of reference, tree, wall, flag stick or ball, and the rangefinder gives you the distance, what else do you need ? |
