Options for Rangefinder with build-in inclinometer

Looking for a new rangefinder and see all kind of options including calculating hold over for your loads,etc..

I really am looking for range and inclinometer since I know my hold over with my various loads already.

What unit is the favorite among the campfire folks?

I really like my Sig Kilo 2000. It shows actual shoot-to range. If you get into specific loads, you are talking very expensive range finders. All I need is actual range.

I am similar with the Leica and Leupold rangefinders but Sig Kilo is a new one to me. A quick glance there seems to be a lot of positive reviews on the web and at that price it is very tempting.

Thanks!

My two favourites under $1000 so far have been the Sig Kilo 2000 and the Bushnell Fusion 1600.

I agree. My best friend just gave me one of these for my birthday and I have been very impressed with it. I was using a Nikon RifleHunter 1000 which had the inclinometer feature also, but the Leupold is able to range things like grass clumps in the middle of a field at 350 yards, something the Nikon couldn't.

I'm wondering about the Sig Kilo 2200MR that's coming out. It sounds like an update to the 2000 with some improvements. The Kilo 2400 is going to be more than I want to spend on a LRF.

Has Leupold come a long way? I bought an Rx 1000 TBR around 5 years ago,specifically for bow hunting because the size of the unit was handy.. Biggest POS I've ever owned and I've owned some POS, so i'm not being biased.

I was ready to purchase a Sig Kilo 2000 but then read several very poor reviews for it.


Now I am thinking a Vortex 1500
