I have noticed a couple different places where military marksmen have a rangefinder mounted to the side of their long gun... is this type of RF available to the public?
If you mean a "RULR" device, which is attached to the side of the forend, then "No". Moreover, it's gonna cost a bunch! I'm skeptical of these devices since maintaining their aimpoint seems precariously difficult on the side of the rifle.
thanks one-eyed jack, thats what i figured, i had no interest in getting one, i was just a little curious. i had a hard time shelling out the $600 for my leica, so there was going to be no chance anyway. killing time so i thought i would ask
