[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2851000, member: 12443"] Very good shooting Kirby. I have a 6x 284, but i didnt realize it could shoot that far. lol As for the rangefinder, im not familiar with a Swedish model. But i am very familiar with the Swiss Wild military rangefinder as ive been using one for quite a long time. Ive also owned Barr & Stroud military rangefinders for many years. Both are very similar as to how they work and perform. My current Wild was made in the mid 70s, and has coated lenses. Whereas ive never seen a Barr & Stroud with modern day coated lenses. It will range from 200 meters out to 10.000 meters. Unlike most lazers, they will absolutely give you a range so long as you can see the target, regardless of the conditions. I do use a Leica 1600 most of the time, but the Wild is always in the vehicle should we need it. And there have been quite a few times when we did. They weigh less than 15 pounds and will as a rule come with the tripod. So happens i have a friend in Pa. even older than me who is interested in selling his. He was asking $400 for it which is a fair price. If your interested PM me and i will see if he still has it. Apparently you are building a gun for another friend by name of Bob Celinski from Pa.? He could confirm there is no BS involved here. [/QUOTE]
