A lifetime warranty on optics is important to me. So is a rangefinder that can actually range fuzzy critters.
I have a Vortex Ranger 1500 and Sig Kilo 2000. Neither one reliably ranges critters beyond 300 yds. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. The Kilo does much better on reflective targets than the Ranger. The Ranger does better in mist, light snow or low flying clouds. Neither one is worth a crap at ranging fuzzy brown antelope on gently sloping, fuzzy brown prairie hillsides. There is not always a reflective target nearby to range.
Based on my observation and talking to others, the Leica's seem to be the best at picking up real world critters. But their customer/warranty service has been historically poor.
