Looking for a range finder that is inexpensive that I can use for hunting and do long range shooting.

I wanna stay in the 500s..Some people think $14,000 is inexpensive.
How much you willing to spend?
Leupold 2800s are good, in the $500 range, kilo 2200 are cheaper but don’t nearly work as good but still better then say a wildinnovations.
Vortex 1800 is cheaper, never used one so can’t speak to how it works.
You willing to spend more than $600 some of the Leicas have been said to be pretty good.
If $14000 is cool some vector 21s with a dagr or ffs could have you shooting across the globe.
Which model is that?? I just put 500 as a base incase I needed to go higher than that. I’m just starting out but want something that I can use for long range shooting and huntingthe new nikon is pretty solid and very hard to beat at its price point
but if you're in the $500s go leica
Yeah that’s all I would need it for is painted steel and ranging animals no farther than 800 and to be honest I’m not ready to go for an animal beyond a 1000yrds.The big break is 800-1000+ yards. You can get a fairly cheap one that will range a target out that far, but beyond that, or trying to range an animal at that range, and you start to pay the big bucks. If you're using it on painted steel targets your budget is about right. Read up on them too, because usually when they say 1,200 yards max it's on a large reflective target, and if that ain't it you're looking at 2/3 or less that distance.
As with most stuff you get what you pay for...
Which model is that?Then I'd say get the Leopold and you'll be happy. It's what I have.

2800
I picked up a demo model Leica 2000-B for $300. Getting easy reads on reflective targets @1230 yards on a clear sunny day. I have hit houses at 160
Perfect for my needs.
They aren’t as expensive or a reason. The 1800 would be the best bet, and hope it works as far as you need it to.Whats everyones take on the Vortex rangefinders? Needing one myself, just not sure which one. Would like to range steel at 1000.
