Night range finder what brand ?

[NDAR15MAN]

What would be a good brand and model of range finder that would work good for night hunting coyotes ? Maybe couple options for me to investigate more. I have a Leica 1200 model I think it’s the model that I use for day time hunting. I don’t think they are made for night hunting , never took it with me. Thanks. Marty.

Mr Poppadopalis... thanks for info. Those are out of my price range.
I should added in my question with a price around of $500.00 or so. Ha ha. If there is such a thing. thanks. Marty

Only two options I'm aware of are the Laserworks and the discontinued SilencerCo Radius. Laserworks goes for about $130 and I've heard it works to about 200 yards. Radius can be found used for around $900 I've seen lately. Mine will range way further than I'd ever shoot. Let us know if you find any other options. The integrated ones in the Pulsar Trails work excellent but not a stand alone unit.

There is a huge void in the rangefinder market. The Laserworks P&Y mentioned has risen in price over the past 2-3 years where it is usually found around $200. I have seen it read a coyote out to about 300 yards. After this, you need to range a hill or something else nearby. Also, the Laserworks does not have a visible laser to zero your rangefinder. If you want it to be precise, you need to zero it with a night vision device which can see the laser pulsing and you can adjust it. There has been mention of a version that has a visible laser, but I have not see it.

The Silencerco Radius also mentioned is quite accurate but it is expensive (and no longer made) and rather bulky. Although, I don't personally use a rangefinder and don't plan on it, I have always said if a company could produce a decent nighttime range finder in the $300-$600 range that could range a coyote out to about 600 yards, I think they would sell a ton of them.

This rangefinder should also work at night, because it can be coupled to the NV Atn 4K HD .... To make sure it works at night even without being connected to the Atn 4k, it would be better to ask the ATN dealer.

I have a couple silencer co radius rangefinders and they work great as long as you keep them zeroed. I like the weight out front to balance the rifle too. Very handy when someone is along with night vision to see if the beam is hitting the coyote.

This is what a lot of guys like Colt Minton and Kyle Krickenburger (if I butchered that I’m sorry) are testing. I personally run a radius and have had very good luck with it. I haven’t read enough on this to try and sell my radius and upgrade or just buy it and have 2.

Ive tried a radius, and a lrf pulsar and have found that they tend to be finicky in cold weather. If you spend enough time with thermal, you will be able to tell the distances of your targets.
