Remington Edge 500

I recieved the Remington Edge 500 Rangefinder as a Christmas present.   It features a 6x24 lense that is  suprisingly clear.  It ranges out to 500 yards, and can be set to display both meters and yards.  The T3 angle compensation seems to work very well.   The scanning mode is hit or miss.   Sometimes it will scan no problem, and other times it will only range the initial object.  It is very lightweight and compact which is very handy, easily going in to a shirt pocket.    At longer ranges, you need to be very steady in order to get a reading, which can be quite the pain.   However, within 200 yards or so it performs flawlessly.  With a price tag of $160, I would say this rangefinder is everything you need, at a price that won't require to also trade your arm.   I definitely recommend this rangefinder to whitetail hunters.
