Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
Impressively weatherproof for the price, too
On a positive note, the eye relief is more than average at 18mm. This is long enough that everyone can have clear field of view, even with glasses on. The minimum eye relief required for clear view with glasses is 15mm, so at 18mm, the ACULON AL11 is more than sufficient.
The ACULON Cheap rangefinder is programmed in distant target priority mode. It means that it will display the range of the utmost target amongst a group of targets measured.
