Best Rangefinder

[Jarred525]

In the market for a new range finder. What do you recommend? My budget is $200. Thanks.

Unless you are hunting out to 1000 yards this is one of the best for the bucks I have found.

I ordered in this one and the Nikon Aculon at the same time...evaluated them for a few days and found the Leupold to be miles ahead.

Thanks! I actually had both the aculon and rx650 on my short list so this was very helpful! I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the rx650.

Go to Ebay and get a used Leica. I have 2. They are nearly 10 years old and work great. Can get one for about that price. Checked out the Vortex but too much red. I mean huge red for an X. Do not like that. Leica's red is subtle yet enough to see without a problem. I have an 800 and a 1000 or 1200. My daughter has one and her boyfriend the other for the last few years.

I picked up a Sig Kilo 850 that i've been using this year, no complaints from me and if you are a bow hunter it does return ARC distance

I've used the Halo just out to 100 but it's quick, easy, and inexpensive

If you can find a used Leupold 1200 RX-1200i TBR, they are fantastic.

FOR THE MONEY,
this particular Sig is likely the best value going. Really decent glass in it, feature rich.

I bought one a couple weeks ago to give to a friend for Christmas, and may get one for myself just for archery hunting. Unlike many others, this one is 4x magnification instead of 6x or higher. Far as I'm concerned, less magnification is an advantage for bowhunting, and 4x is plenty out to 4 or 5 hundred yards.

At least at the moment, Cabela's has this one on sale for $159.99.

If your budget is a little higher and you've been considering the new Leica Rangemaster 2000,
you might want to take a look at the Sig Kilo2000 instead:

I'm even wondering if Leica may be making these for Sig?

X2 on the sig kilo 2000. Two friends have them and love them

Leupold rx1200 is good. But after about 550 you better have a barn to range.

I agree on a used leupy
