What model of Rangefinder do you own?

Would you buy that brand rangefinder again?

What is the best and worst thing about your rangefinder?

Where did you buy your rangefinder?

I've currently have a Bushnell 600 compact. It has worked well for my hunting the past several years. Much lighter and smaller than my old Bushnell 400. I've used the Leica 800 and want to upgrade pretty bad. The lighted display is sooooo much better.

I got my Bushnell YP 600 from http://www.ubid.com

Beware of using Ubid now, there service has gone downhill and they are rated very poorly now on Reseller ratings.com. They have cheap prices and then bill you 10x times the normal shipping to make up for the cheap price.

I have a bushnell yardage pro 500, but wanted to get a smaller one. I checked out the Leica 800, and the Bushnell Scout. I went with the Bushnell Scout in camo.
I would buy it again, and I have found no drawbacks with it. It is better than my full size model 500, which was better than my original model 800. Bushnell did have problems with the scouts for a while, they chewed up batteries. That problem has been fixed. My battery is still the original one, and it is 5 monthes old now!

I bought my scout online from one of those discount places in NYC. I did get a great price(277.00 in camo) but they jerked me around for awhile. It was in stock until I paid for it, then it was suddenly not in stock. I think it took a little over two weeks to finally get it. Next time I will pay the extra few bucks and go to a local dealer.

I bought a leica 600 off of ebay about 4 months ago. My buddy has a bushnell 800. The leica outperforms his bushnell hands down ,it is about 10 times quicker than the bushnell and both read rughly the same yardage.

very happy with it, it is extremely small and easy to operate

I have the Bushnell YP Scout.
It's extremely small and works very well for distance to 500 yards. Adequate for PA.
I like it and would recommend it if your looking for something very compact. I used it out West in Co last year for Elk and it performed when needed.
