I would be interested to give them an evaluation, when it comes to all LRF units they are very comparable between brands. If it says 1000yd on the side expect real world usage to top around 550-600, I don't use built in ballistics, simply the angle finder and true horizontal distance with my own dope charts.

I don't have their rangefinder but I bought a venom highgrade 4-12 scope last fall and love it. Mounted it on my tikka with a set of talley lows and it shoots great. For the price, compared to my bushnell 3200 I think it's great. The guy on gun nutz who advertises for them in Manitoba is a great guy to deal with.

New Scorpion 1000 came today...only had a few minutes to test it out at the office before I left for home and was dark when I got here. I like the feel in my hand. it's rubberized and seems to give yd readout very quickly. I'll know more as I get to use it more Gonna take it blacky hunting first of April..

Did you buy it from NS because you got a deal from your relative? Scorpion is in MB so might have got it sooner. A buddy had the hi end scope and very happy.

Yes, I got it through my cousin. I would assume that MB coulda got it to NS as quick as I would've if I hadda bought it from them. All said, he put it in Canada Post $15 on Monday and I had it here on the Island Wed.
Personally, I find that the websites charge just a bit more than individual dealers and the difference covered the extra shipping so I went that way

So now I've tried it in low lite in the evening and now at 6:56 am and it's giving me yardage readings. I think this passes the "low lite" test. I also like the rubberized coating and hand grip.
