Rangefinders that don’t suck

[Drake4]

I know several folks who have had issues with Sig. When they work, they are top notch. I've had 2 Kilo's now. The first one was a complete lemon and they replaced it. It took some frustrating conversations with their Customer Service Dept. though. My current version I've had probably 5 years now and has been fantastic.
I also have an older Leica 1200 which I absolutely love and have never had an issue with.

I’ve got a 20 year old Nikon that still works the same as when it was new. It just doesn’t have any fancy features and isn’t very bright

Yep. Nikon 1200 Monarch here. mtmuley

Ebay now has a used leica 2400 for just under 400 shipped if anybody is in the market, pretty good deal

It’s a 2200 from probably 2019?

Have the same one from probably same year. Mine completely shit the bed this year. Can’t read display at all. Friend bought his same time I did and his also is no longer working. Almost like they were programmed with an end life setting

Pretty sure mine is the same model...so far it's been fine.

My Sig 2000 died last winter. Didn't worry too much as I had already purchased a Maven RF1. Other than size, the Maven beats the Sig in every way. But the Sig was good for a very long time. When it died, it just died all together. Totally blank other than one or two little pixelized marks. Tried multiple new batteries just in case.

Knowing the warranty was only for five years I think, I didn't think to call customer service. I still have it though. Maybe I should give them a call.

Gave my Leupold rangefinder to a buddy as I got a pair of binos with the rangefinder built in. One less thing for me to carry around.

I have a Maven RF1 and the only complaint is the knob on the side feels bulky. But after buying some Lecia Geovid HDBs used a couple years ago I haven't used the Maven much. But also haven't been archery hunting as much.

If you get the urge to sell it I’ll drive over, with beer.

I like my Leica 1600 and it’s awesome.

How many of these have ballistics on board and do custom profiles?

I have a sig 1400abs that I got cheap paired with a scope combo deal several years ago. Its been holding up but has only seen light use. Getting the drop and drift read out is the only part of it I'm attached to/ need in a next one.

 

[Unfazed]

Which Sig do you have? I was considering a kilo4k but my Leupold 1400i has been bulletproof

Why do you need ballistic info in a rangefinder? mtmuley

I need to organize some gear this winter and sell a few things. Not sure if the Maven will make the cut. I'll let you know but we should drink a beer either way.

I currently have at least 3 scopes in unopened packages. We'll see if I get around to posting my draft post about it in the ADHD thread.

Makes things faster/ easier for me. Rangefinder gives drop, I dial it in or hold my hash marks. If its on a separate drop chart I have to range then go to/ look at another location for the same information before dial or hold and shoot.

Yeah. I can see where that is a problem. mtmuley
