Only problem I see is that my shooting bag is filling up with cool gadgets. Might need a bigger bag...

Keep checking the bargain gate, maybe someone will post a good deal on a bigger shooting bag

LOL.... I probably already have bags full of shooting bags around here.

Well delayed a couple times but mine finally came. What anticipation and it’s “ok!”  We’ll for the money it’s another toy!  Plus now I can keep one in my golf bag and one in the shooting bag.

Here’s my take vs my Sonocaddie which I’m sure I paid less than $50 because I’m so cheap I know I didn’t spend more!

The 4x is a bit limiting and I like the 6x on my other LRF. The image calculation is immediate on  Sonnocaddie and it also does metric. Tasco took a while to give a reading. Sonnocaddie also has a rubber eyecup which helped me take the picture through my iPhone. Boy was that tough lining up!

I ran a shooting box out 30 yds as measured by tape. The Sonnocaddie consistently said 31 yds. The Tasco would toggle readings from 29 up to 32 so there’s some inconsistency there.

All in all though for $35 I’m really happy. Plus all the cool guys were doing it and I want to up my cool quotient. Thanks for the tip!

Mine showed up this week and it seems to work just fine especially for the price.

This deal is Alive again (as of now/06Jun19 1700et).
Details in first post.

[Mods: Is there a reason I (as OP) am not presented with a "Modify" or "Edit" option on that first post? (only "Quote") This worked in the past.

I'm disappointed in my TASCO LRF 600 Golf Laser Rangefinder. It is consistently inconsistent . I use a 100' tape to measure where I place my target stands. I measured 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 yards. The Tasco was off almost every time by a yard sometimes more, I know the manual says +/- a yard but the thing is that when I measure the same distance it comes up with a different measurement).

I have a Simmons  that I think is the same thing in different packaging.  I use my Simmons for deer hunting and it stays in my pack. We have a pipeline running across our property where we (my son and I) hunt. I have measured with a rolling wheel measuring device and verified the Simmons on multiple occasions.  It is consistently consistent with the measurements it shows. When I use it to measure where I place my target stands the 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 yards that the Tasco failed at, the Simmons was dead on everytime.
Hmm?

Maybe it needs to be sent back. It could be defective.

You may be right. I'll email them.

Maybe these are sold at such a deep discount because they are qc rejects.

You know that had crossed my mind. What if they fail an accuracy test and then they are sold to people who hit tiny balls into holes.

I think people who golf are just as intense and performance driven as any airgunner. Let us know what you find out. I would think it would have to be made known to the buyer if they were QC rejects or refurbed units other wise it would fall into false marketing.

I really don't think 1 yd +- is gonna affect poi in golf or air gunning.
Still seems more accurate than the old days..... paces.

I emailed them, they have sent me a prepaid UPS label and they're sending me a replacement.  Great customer service.

Thanks for your reply/explanation(/excuse? ).
I read the first two pages of that thread; when I finish reading it, I'll add my own comments there.

But, I do have this to say here, and now ...
The starting/initial post (of a thread) should have a different "set of rules" ... especially so in the Bargain Gate (and Classifieds).

Remember, "Gun Control is never a (good) solution."

It's a moot point in this case... I just tried it and the discount code is invalid again.

[Thanks for the update.]
Better than moot ... now the thread title is correct, and I don't have to change it (again).

[avator]

LOL.... the circle of life.

Bill, that is usually my thought when I see deeply discounted items or deals such as this, and it's a pretty good assumption IMO having seen/read so much stuff on here for 12 years.
