Ranked #4 in Best Hunting Rangefinders
AOFAR HX-1200T Range Finder4.0
2 sourcesall derived$79.99as of Oct 2That Hobby found the Aofar HX-1200T impressive for its ability to range through glass, a capability they noted is absent in many higher-priced models. Mat Miller highlighted the device's utility for archers due to its angle compensation and bow mode, while also noting it offers accuracy comparable to premium brands like SIG at a fraction of the cost. Reviewers appreciated the comprehensive accessory kit but criticized the bulky form factor and the durability of the case's Velcro closure. This rangefinder is best suited for budget-conscious hunters who need reliable performance through glass and angle correction, though those prioritizing compact carry may find it too large.
