anyone running one of those scopes that have the range finder built in? any good? any probs? would i just be better off getting a traditional scope and a separate range finder?
for traditional type scopes what are brands to stay away from? i've tried tasco in the past and they're junk, but i also don't want to spend $2k on a scope either lol. any suggestions? this would be going on a big cal maybe a 30/06.
was at chapters last night looking for a guide on scopes, but no dice...would anyone know of any good books i can get online

Range finder scopes are good for one caliber and one weight, and one shape of bullet (i.e. flat point, round nose, spitzer) of bullet. If you always shoot factory loads, and one weight (and shape) of bullet, fine. Otherwise, rely on a good scope and a good range finder.
Also, tape a "drop table" for distance vs. trajectory for your loadings to the side of the stock.
