I looked at a Redfield range finder today at Cabelas, it was small and compact, the guy said they are made by leupold to compete with the less expensive Nikon that Leupold was unable to compete with before aquiring Redfield.... anyway a lot of blah blah here sorry about that. I just want to know if any of you have these smaller Redfield range finders and how they work for deer or antelope. He said they would reach 550 yds but probably not register a deer because of the human factor and being unable to hold the tiny range finder steady enough.
He said if you held the button down while you panned with it it would register everything you pan on if it is the size it can register... But said as a down side the battery would not last as long. I asked what kind of battery and it is a weird one like 1/3 length of a aaa battery, So I figured they could be a pain to find to replace especially on a hunting trip.
Please let me know if you have one of these and what you have found out in the line of usability.
