[QUOTE="SnowbirdUT, post: 1641498, member: 88029"] I have two recommendations depending on how you expect to use your Range Finder as well as a resource you should consider purchasing and reading before you purchase a Range Finder. If you are looking for a binocular, I recommend the Sig Sauer KILO 3000 BDX 10X42. From what, I've read and and seen on YouTube, this device can range targets > 2000 meters. That is performance similar to the Vectronix devices at a lower cost. This is a YouTube review by Tiborasaurex. Rex knows his stuff and his reviews are accurate. [MEDIA=youtube]UUsumFLlQhA[/MEDIA] I would purchase a pair of these binoculars if; i) the binoculars were 10X50 and ii) if the binoculars had the anemometer and ballistic computer capabilities of the Sig 2400. I shoot steel at distances greater than what my Sig 2400 can range and for those distances I use google earth to calculate the distances. I use my Sig 2400 for hunting. That device works great out to 1,500 meters plus it gives me the ballistic solution. I don't have a problem taking and animal at 1,000 meters if I have a good rest and the wind is manageable. If you don't need the ballistic computer, I would get the binoculars. If you do need the ballistic computer, I recommend the Sig 2400. I used to use a range finder and Kestrel anemometer and input the data in an application on my iPhone with cold hands. That is slow and error prone. Finally, I recommend reading Bryan Litz book "Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting". That book has a chapter written by Nick Vitalbo. Nick is an engineer who has a small company that is developing the technology that Sig is implementing in their devices. Before I read this chapter, I really didn't know what to look for in a Range finder and why. Very helpful. The rest of the book is a very good read as well. [/QUOTE]
