A family member as expressed a desire to have a nice rangefinder. Since I know nothing about them, I turn to you. What do you like or not like about the ones you've used? What's a best pick up to about $250+/-? Thanks. Jay

I concur with the nickel content replies. I have a "B barrel" M39 Finnish Mosin with a "plum" colored barrel, similar to your finish. The nickel content is quoted as the reason that series of rifles are that color.

Thanks for the head's up. I was unaware of this guy. Jay
