I have these exact thermometers. They have alarms. Use them in my two freezers where I store my game meat year round. Cheap insurance as long as you are able to hear the alarm. Range is at least 15 ft with the freezers in separate rooms. Should work well for the application you are...
Took this guy on the Stallion Range Friday. 36"+ each side. Almost 8" bases. Pretty much my best critter ever. 338 Win Mag 157 yards one shot. Lucky to have my 78 year father and great hunting buddy with me...Draw odds are tough even for New Mexico Residents, but a very fun and unique hunt...
I have had this same dilemma, ironically considering replacing my Kimber 300WSM Classic, that shoots 1" groups with hand loaded 168gr Barnes TTSX. In the end I concluded that I am a hunter not a shooter, and that gun will serve me well in the vast, vast majority of hunting situations.
