Best "good" Range Finder

I bought a cheap halo something around $80-$90 on amazon. It works okay, but long term I would move up into a Nikon, some others, but a buddy has a Sig he said he would sell me upon my return to USA.

Here is a review link @Keyman62421 https://rangefindertoday.com/best-rangefinder-for-hunting/

Sig, Vortex, and Leopold are all very good quality. And can be found a reasonable prices, especially the 600 yrd and under models. I have all three for big game hunting (1000+ yrd models). There are numerous less expensive brands that would be sufficient for 300 yrds and under.

Hello I had just bought a Vortex ranger 1000 range finder ,only had it for about 3 weeks but so far so good. Much nicer than the Bushnell one I used but by far the nicest I have used have been the Leica geovid 10x42 but can not justify the price of the Leica. The Vortex is very easy to use, auto shutoff, and preset with angle/yard from the factory, just put in battery and point ,press, and range, very happy with it. Hope this helps Eric

I have Leupold. I really like it. Accurate , batteries last years, auto shut off.

I have the Athlon Midas, very nice, good for 1 mile. If you can access Expert Voice (military, police, firefighter, first responder) you can get it for a very good price. Its much better than the standard Bushnell one that I had been using...

I have had a Leupold for several years. It only goes to 1,000 yards but the newer ones go further. I’ve never had an issue with it and don’t think I’ve ever changed the battery.

Same as Steve (sorry Mike, have to do it, last time, I promise) I got Athlon Midas to replace my 10+ years old Nikon, and it's a big improvement.

I have several ranger finders that have black reticles in them, never again. Now, I have a Vortex range finder with a red reticle and love it.

I have had a Leica 1200 yard rangefinder since around 2005 . It has been the best piece of electronic equipment I have ever had. I paid 400 bucks for it new then. Ranges out to 700 yards in full sun. It has out lasted many nightforce and Leopold scopes tracking. Lol. Always works 

Yes, it matters what it cost but what's your budget/price cap?

I own multiple rangefinders...

The Leica has great optics ... only complaint is that it uses lots of power and doesn’t adjust for angle. It ranges through windshields pretty well... which comes in handy.

nikon black 4K 

Very nice optics and ranges to a mile. My current favorite. Ranges through windshields nicely. Bizarre ... but this rangefinder stops working properly indoors at night under fluorescent lights in the large barns where I hunt starlings. Go figure 

sig kilo 1000 very small form factor... ok optics works great indoors and is my typical backup. Doesn’t range through glass

It seems the Nikon Black has been discontinued. Any idea what the replacement model is?

I've got the Sig Kilo3000 binos - they give holdovers and windage out to 800 yards in the reticle, or further if tethered to a Kestrel. No problem ranging out to 2200 (haven't tried further). Great glass for the price.

Hi try MTC rapier LRF. 1000 yard x 6 mag very easy to use. Has free app ios etc .app allows one to input lots of data, plus ear bud speaks range angle etc.

safe shooting

In my area, the pigeons at longer ranges don't like my Bushnell Scout 1000 DX ARC —

because when they sit on some telephone wire at 62 yards, I KNOW they are 62 yards away.



And soon my Strelok Pro knows it, too.



And after Strelok Pro finds out, it usually isn't before long that the pigeons finds out.

It's usually the last thing they find out this side of Pigeon Paradise.*



I realize Burris has discontinuedthe Bushnell Scout 1000 DX ARC.....

I'd love to buy another one, as replacement for when mine breaks!
