Farthest I've ranged on an antelope is 974 yards with mine. If I see any elk today I will try to range them and get back to you.
I paid 420 shipped to my door. Bought from a guy on Snipers Hide. I can provide his contact number if need be.

That's why I chimed in Bob, antelope are the hardest animal I've ever tried to range. Their small size definately make it more difficult to range especially at long distances.

Ranging lone antelope on flat ground, with little cover is a tough challenge. I know my Leica 1200 and Swaro couldn't, and Leupy 1200i does about half the time.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Think you have it right. Just wanted you guys to know it was out there. It's 5x more but these things are bad ass. I don't miss carrying a range finder on my belt even a little.

Mine was used yesterday to range a 200-250# black bear in a clearcut at 1348yds. Also ranged a little black tail doe at 1117yds.
On a metal fire watch tower on a open rock face I have got it to range at 3180yds IIRC

I think mine sh*t the bed. Couldn't range antelope (or anything else) at ~400 yards today....

Ugh. Don't like hearing that.
I ranged a cow (moo cow) at 1236 this evening with my Leica LRF1200. I think that's a new personal record. However, that was in fading light. In bright sunlight it's a 600-900 tops rangefinder. How does the Sig do in that regard?
The CENTER will hold.

Jeff, we have gotten ranges to a bit past 1500yds in fairly sunny conditions on single cow elk. It's a good one indeed.

I got mine a long time ago for $450 and thought that was a good deal at the time. This is a great price.

since I only have vision in one eye, my rangefinder takes the place oF binos and I don't need to range critters in the next zip code. Two questions: How does the optical quality compare to the Swaro 8x30 rf, and does the sig have a rain mode? The Swaro is impossible through intervening brush or trees,
