Laser Rangefinders – Hunting, Shooting & Outdoor Optics

Hunting & Shooting Laser Rangefinders

A laser rangefinder tells you the exact distance to your target so you can choose the right holdover or dial your scope. We carry rangefinders from Sig Sauer (Kilo series), Halo Optics, Crimson Trace, Winchester and RIX Tactical, including angle-compensated and ballistic models.

What to Look For in a Rangefinder

• Range: rated maximums are measured on reflective targets. Expect about half to two thirds of that on a deer.
• Angle compensation: gives the true horizontal distance for uphill and downhill shots.
• Ballistics: some models calculate holdover or connect to an app for your load.
• Display: red or OLED displays are easier to read in low light than black LCD.

Pair your rangefinder with a rifle scope with a ballistic reticle or turrets, or with rangefinding binoculars.

FAQ

How far can a laser rangefinder measure?

Hunting rangefinders are typically rated from 600 to over 2,000 yards on reflective targets. On non-reflective game, expect roughly half to two thirds of the rated range.

What is angle compensation?

Angle compensation adjusts the reading for uphill or downhill shots and shows the horizontal distance that gravity acts on, which is the number you should use for holdover.

Do I need a rangefinder for hunting?

Beyond about 200 yards, misjudging distance is a common cause of missed or wounded game. A rangefinder removes the guesswork.
