Rangefinder on Airgun.

I was looking at those awhile back as well. I thought Centercut was or did buy one but I don't recall for sure. Look forward to your review!

what rifle has a rail that will accommodate a scope and this device?
thanks

Ebay has them for $100-110.

IMOLD looks interesting ,another piece of gear ,this is a interesting piece to say the least,how does it mount HYNZIE

Very interesting all you need is scope tube adapter to weaver picatinny on all of your guns so you can easily use that one device for all of your guns.

Yes, I tried one out, just didn’t use it much. Worked fine. Here’s the link:

If anyone wants to try one out I’ll sell mine for $100 shipped with case. 

I bought one when they first came out, I never use it because I got all my ranges by memory in my back yard, Just sets on the desk,

Very cool. But i have a question. How do you know its actually ranging what your looking at through the scope? Or do you always use the iron sights on the unit itself?

Its not hard to get the laser rangefinder calibrated to your scope. Easiest way it to set something like a small box (12"x12" or similar) on a stool or something in a field or lawn where there is nothing else around, at about 50 yards. This way you know when you put the crosshairs on your scope in the middle of the box and then adjust the scope mounted laser so that it gives you a good yardage (that you know from using your handheld rangefinder). Just adjust it until the range is correct and then move it left and right, up and down to see where you need to be so that the rangefinder beam is in the middle of the box. Takes less than 1/2 hour the first time. After that its much easier...

I dont see how this would work over long distances. If you mount this over your scope there will be ranges that the path of the laser is off by a decent amount from the reticle of the scope. It might be fine for closer ranges from 20 - 50 yds but farther distances wont be accurate. If you mount this over your scope you will be apprx 2" or more over the scopes sight path. If you adjust the laser to be on the same point as the scope at 30 yds then move out to 100 yds the laser will be pointing lower than the reticle is at 100 yds. The point before the 30 yds the laser will take the reading above the reticle and after 30 yds it gets increasingly lower than the reticle as the range increases. I will use my wolverine .25 as an example. My scope is sighted for 50 yds so I would set the laser rangefinder to be exactly on my reticles point of aim at 50 yds. Sounds fine at this point right. If I move out to 100 yds my wolverine has a drop of 12.47". So if I aim at an object with my scope and its 100 yds away the laser rangefinder is going to be pointing beneath the reticle by a large amount and give me an incorrect distance. At that kind of distance if the reading is off by just 2 yards my impact will be 1" low. It will be even more problematic if theres an obstacle between you and the target cause it might give a reading from the top of a bush 15 yds closer than the target. It would work better if its inline with the sight path of the scope for vertical alignment and just slightly to the side of the scope. 

I’ve used mine and never ran into that problem. Light doesn’t bend like a pellets flight path. If zero at 50 it’ll be 2 inches high at the muzzle and two inches low at 100 yards. More than close enough to get a good range. After that you use your holdover to get the right pellet flight path to the target. Make sense?
