Range finder

[JCCinOhio]

I've got between $250-$350 to spend on a range finder. Want to be able to range a berm/hill out to 1000 yards. What's my best bet? Leupold 1200i, Vortex, other?

Have used a lot of range finders from cheap to very pricey. Sig Kilo 2200 would be my recommendation.

Bushnell ConX, I have ranged IPDA And 66% targets to 1000yards with the ConX. Brownells runs deals on them and you can apply discount codes. I got mine for $252. There are a bunch of good threads about the ConX in the Observation Devices Section

I've used and liked the Vortex Ranger 1500. It's on sale at Cabela's right now for $329.

Good luck,

Harry

PS-I'm considering a SigSauer Kilo 2400ABS to replace my Vortex Ranger 1500, which I sold.

I too got a conx and for the 259 I got it for I think it's hard to beat. It's a bit bigger than my old leupold that fit in my palm but it gets hits at 1k more consistently than the leupold.

Another vote for the ConX

Any thoughts or opinions on the Nikon Monarch 7i VR? Was thinking about buying one when Black Friday rolls around.

I've had good experiences with the Sig Kilo line. Started with a 2000 and was immediately impressed with the speed and accuracy compared to my Zeiss and Bushnell units.
I recently picked up a 2400ABS during the Midway $1100 dollar deal and I'm simply amazed with it's performance.
First-round hits on targets at 700, 770, 830 and 890 yards with 1200' altitude change. I managed to easily range a steel plate at a mile in rolling forest and scare the hell out of it, but no hits... Wind was all over the place and I'm not that good- yet! My Bushnell rangefinding binos wouldn't even give me a return at that distance.

I have a Kilo and really like it, Cabelas has the Kilo 2000 on sale for $349.99: http://www.cabelas.com/product/SIG-K...ER/2228089.uts

I've got a Kilo 2200 and it's fantastic. WAY more responsive than my buddy's Leica 1600. If I was you, I'd look at the Kilo 2200 and the ConX and that would probably be it in that price range.

I find Vortex Ranger 1500 very easy to use.
