Rangefinder carry

[parshal]

Since my Sig 2400 has a temp sensor I try to keep it away from my body which works well for the front pocket of the AGC bino pouch.

I have a Nikon Monarch that I store in a front pocket after having looped the lanyard thru a zipper pull. Keeps the pricy parts attached when the going gets tough.

While I have nicely fitted belt/mole pouch, that can be mounted on either my binocular harness or belt, I almost always just keep my RF in my jacket pocket(right side) where it's quickly and easily accessible from any shooting position, particularly prone.

I use the horn hunter op-x or whatever. It has a pouch you can weave on the main chest pieces molle.

Does it have room for both Binos and G-7 size range finder in the large pack?

I tend to over research everything and looked at all available bino harness options. I chose the Marsupial harness in the end. It does have a rangefinder option add-on but I use rangefinding binos so it wasn't required. I chose the Marsupial for the following reasons: Compact, protective flap opens forward and is held easily flush out of the way, one handed operation so I can keep eyes on the game, and cell phone pocket in the back. I was a little surprised that it is not more popular as to me the design addresses some shortcomings in the others.

My wife and I both use the Marsupial harness and I just added the range finder pouch to mine. Found the company randomly when I was searching for a replacement for my Badlands harness. I love the thing especially that the flap has a magnet to hold it open when I am sitting on stand also that the fabric was nylon that doesn't pick up hitch-hikers and burrs.
If you already have a bino harness you like the Marsupial rangefinder pouch can be added to most other harnesses .

Strap around the neck, rangefinder in the left breast pocket.

I use this method as well when not using my bino harness. Lanyard is important as I already lost a RF that heavy brush removed from my open pocket.

I always carried mine in the belt pouch it came in. But I often wear suspenders instead of a belt, and would put it on them sideways. My last rangefinder had a magnet closure instead of hook and loop or zipper. Lost it this fall in heavy brush, so I'm currently shopping for a new rangefinder When I was bowhunting I would carry it on a string around my neck so I could drop it and shoot, but this doesn't work well with binos on your chest when rifle hunting. I like carrying it in a shirt pocket but that is where I tend to carry my gps, my handheld radio if hunting with someone else, and nowadays as I get older and it bothers me to sit on it and drive, often my wallet. I don't have enough shirt pockets!

I use fhf and agc systems. Agc is nice cause several pockets allow you to carry whatever you want. Fhf is tighter and slimmer to the body and the rf and gps pouches are handy. I would prefer to be able to just grab rf, pull it free and use them stick back on. As it is I still have to open something to use it, pouch or zippered pocket. Usually I don't wear a jacket with pockets and/or I have a pack of some kind on that blocks access. I thought someone made a sleeve system to go over there rf and clip to a receiver part on the pack or Bino harness. I have the Leupold rx1000 tbr, with failing display segments unfortunately and it's out of warranty so looking at the sig bdx system.

That was supposed to be I'm not really happy about having to buy a new rangefinder even if I was wanting one. Besides I could have handed down my old to the wife and saved some money.

So, a rangefinder is necessary for long range hunting.....I carried mine in a nice Horn Hunter pouch...then I lost the strap. The new one is just different.

So, I'm lost. How do you carry your rangefinder in the field? Looking for a solution/gift idea.

Currently I use the front pouch of my AGC Bino harness and then have it tethered into the harness.

My leupy range finder goes in my shirt pocket with lanyard around my neck. Or in its case on my day pack chest strap.

WHY does anyone need a Range finder while out hunting? for sighting in a rifle yes but hunting I don't understand it?

Because you need to know if you are shooting at game 300, 350, 400 yrds away or whatever the distance. Out west here we get shots that far away, last bunch of years its been all 200 to 400 yard shots. My eyeball is not calibrated well enough to distinguish 220 yards from 280 yards and beyond. Sure are handy little tools.
