I'm taking LRS serious. Looking to buy once cry once. I'm looking for compatibility, reliability, & durability. I'm looking to shoot 6.5 Creedmoor, .308Win, .338Lap, & .50BMG. I don't have a local long range, and will be traveling throughout Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. The Arena in Blakeley, Ga goes out to 2,800 yards. I believe it is unknown distance but don't quote me on that because I haven't made it out there to shoot myself. I'm looking to have something that's easy to use. Looking to get the best experience possible. Price range $1,000-$1,500 for both units. Kestrel will be on a vane mount on a tripod. Rangefinder should be able to reach 3,000 yards and work with the Kestrel. Rangefinder can have the properties the Kestrel has if necessary. Thanks Guru's!
 
Kestrel 5700 and possibly the new Sig 10K
3000 yard requirement is really going break your budget because that capability is really from $2000 to 10000+

You can get som solid 1500- mid 2000’s options from $500 1000ish.
