I wondered & googled this, but quickly got snowed under with information, got lost, chucked it, & came back to the font of shooting knowledge, so, does a rangefinding scope exist? how would that go on an FT or HFT competition?

I don't know if they're still on offer but a couple of years ago you could get a laser rangefinding scope from at least two manufacturers. Bushnell was one of them.

The Bushnell worked from around 18yds upwards. No, you could not use it for HFT.
FT I don't know. They were a bit pricy as you would expect.

They certainly are out there but mainly used for long distance fac

BBF

Will give you some idea.

thanks Ray (& guys-as usual) that`s the one I found then chucked it Ray, still not sure if it exists or not?
+ & I don`t wanna imply cheating here, although I am, but I`m curious, -how would HFT or any comp`n know you had one?

Hi
Yes they do exist, the Nikon was at best a bit flakey not great in poor weather or very bright sunlight.
The Bushnell is available in the UK at a stupid price but from what I understand its the same unit as the Nikon just re badged.
In truth at Field target ranges yooud be doing the other shooters a favour using one.
I have used one but for what it cost I wouldnt buy it id rather put the money into a good quality FFP scope like a Sightron.

Even if you slipped it past the officials, you competitors on your peg would recognise it and cry foul !

Any scope with good side focus wheel if set up correctly will allow you to range find with sufficient precision for air gunning.

Went in CH westerns in Brighton today, they have the Bushnel in there at about £690

you cant use one in FT.
