[Shop-talk] laser range finder

[Phil Nase]

 How about a GPS to get a fix at the bench and the target.   Accuracy may be
off 10 meters or so depending on the unit but it should be close.

Subject: [Shop-talk] laser range finder

Last night, my buddy came over with his 30.06.  He is leaving on a hunting
trip for Africa this weekend and he wanted to make sure his scope was
sighted correctly.

Now, I have a makeshift range in my back yard so it wasn't a problem firing.
The issue was that we wanted to get an accurate distance to the target.  We
paced it out, but the ground isn't level, making the pace count a little
unreliable.

So, I got an idea for a new tool that I need!  8>)  I'm in the market for a
laser range finder (note, I already have one of the ones for inside a
building with a 100' range.)  But I'm looking for something that can do up
to 250m.  Hopefully something with either a scope for sighting the exact
point of measurement or a dot that sights it.

I'm not going to be using it frequently, so I don't want to spend hundreds
of bucks.  Horrible freight doesn't have any cheapies.

Any ideas?
