Vortex rangefinder
billygoat-gruff replied to billygoat-gruff's topic in Binoculars, Spotting scopes and Rangefinders
Believe it or not, I have that exact page bookmarked [emoji23] don't think I want that harness though. Got my eyes on the hunters element harness pouch. Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk -

I was checking those sites, but was a bit sceptical going 2nd hand for something electronic. Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk -

No one has the vortex in stock, I have put one on backorder. Apparently a month or two [emoji1696] Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk -

Yeah no worries, cheers mate. The vortex isn't much more than the redfield. They're going for 350 at magnum sports, seems they have a decent warranty as well. Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk -

How is it for reliability, has it let you down at all? I can't find much over the net on the redfield 650a.. Heaps of shït on YouTube about the vortex though. That's what I want it for too, I've discovered I'm pretty useless at guessing distances Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk -

Yeah I read that earlier today. Vortex say it can range deer at 400 yards, around about 370 metres or something. That is more than enough for the type of hunting I'll be doing. Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk -
Hey ya'll. I've been in the market for a rangefinder for a hell of a long time now, I'm keen on the vortex impact 850 and wondering if any of you have had personal experiences with them and your thoughts on it? I've always been interested in the redfield 650a as I have redfield scopes and love them, so if you have experience with them too I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks [emoji4] Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk

Yeah the specs are pretty good for run times. I don't know if it makes a difference with battery brands or not though. I got a couple hoursworth on full power only turning it off once or twice for a couple minutes. Still didn't run dead flat as it flashes when the batteries are getting low as a warning so I just turned the brightness down. Sent from my F5121 using Tapatalk

Yeah I got the m9, definitely doesn't reach out to 500m. I tested mine against my lightforce 170 striker and i rated it better around the 100m mark as it's a white light. But it couldn't pick out a big tree at 300m where the lightforce could. I think it's good to around 150-200m from memory Sent from my F5121 using Tapatalk

billygoat-gruff replied to howahunter's topic in Spotlights and Torches
Hey duncs or huntsmart, could you please tell me how much of a gap between the top of your scope tube to the bottom of your torch tube in mm with the aria mount? I might need to get one if it sits high enough for my 22 scope. The mount I have is sh!t -

billygoat-gruff replied to howahunter's topic in Spotlights and Torches
Hey duncs, what brand 18650 are you using? I'm gonna get some Panasonics, but does the m9 take the nipple top or flat type? Oh yeah, I bought the m9 -

I'm actually watching a solarforce m9 on eBay haha. That link isn't working on my phone, I'll check it out on the computer later tonight. I'd definitely rather carry a little torch around then the 170 lightforce. -

I'm not sure if it's sealed actually, doesn't say it is in the description unless I missed it. Yeah I bought two little led torches for my 22 that throw about 50m which is all I need for the 22. Maybe I should look at a decent torch instead of a big battery for my centrefire. -
