Awesome gesture, very good on you!

Reasons not to give it to my eldest grandson, Emmett. He comes from a long line of total azzholes. He is 13 and when he gets older, he will sell your rangefinder (and all the guns I gifted him) to chase girls. He can afford his own rangefinder from his kindling bundle business and money saved shooting gramps' ammo. He is a junior trainee over at the firehouse, and I think he just goes there to review the firehouse art pinned to the walls, and learn a new vocabulary.

Flintlocke gave the most honest answer!! There is a difference in material things when they are earned.! I have a friend that has a good kid that’s late 30s . He makes over 100 k a year. Lives in a studio apt behind dads house. Dad charges him $250 a month inc utilitys and the son (good kid) rarely can pay him. The dad is dying and will give the son everything including a half mil. I met his son several times and is a very good kid! Tell us Roy , what is a good kid?? The son could probably use the range finder when he goes to Hawaii !! On a regular basis! Alan

If this is still available, my 11 year old daughter would absolutely love this!!
She loves to shoot and is just getting into hunting. Heck , she even built me a complete m4 from parts on the kitchen table for Father’s Day!!
Thank you very much for such a kind gesture smile

Actually, I was thinking this gives me the desire to try to give away more of my stuff on here to deserving kids.

There's a lot of kids worthy mentioned here and by PM. To be fair I'll just pull a name out of a hat.

160user, hell yes, go for it.

I just gave my old range finder to a fine young man. He is 10 years old and starting to hunt. I don’t know who felt better me or him. 😂

I would bet that you probably felt better, but he will not forget who gave him that rangefinder. I have given away a couple shotguns to young hunters. One was a neighbor kid who always wanted to mow my lawn or shovel the driveway, anything to make a few dollars. I asked him what he was buying with his earnings. He said he wanted a shotgun. I talked to his dad to see if it was OK if he had one, as I had a 20 ga single shot. His dad said yes, so I said send him over. I met the boy at the door. His eyes got big when I showed him the gun. He asked if I wanted to sell it. I told him no, I was going to give it to him. He was about ready to jump up and down. I warned him about being safe with it. I moved before the deer season. That kid went hunting behind our houses and shot a big 10 pointer with that 20ga. He called me and I went to see it. 15 yard shot, the buck went down and was still moving. He reloaded and shot it again at 5 yards. I guarantee that kid won't forget that hunt, gun or me. I am still proud to be retelling that story!!!

Well, I drew a name from 10 entered. Threw it back in the bowl, mixed it up, and drew the same name again. Good enough for me. This goes to raineirrifleco for his grandson.
