SIG Kilo 2200 MR. up to 1300 yards on deer, 1600 on trees and a reflective target up to 2 miles. OLED display, auto brightness. It’s hard to beat.

Leica may have changed their CS. I certainly hope so. Be that as it may, that doesn't help me with the nine hundred bucks they stiffed me out of in 2007. I know that was a while back, but I have a tendency to remember things like that.

A Leica pin master would cover you and can be picked up reasonably. Barry

I really like the Leica 900 that Doug hooked me up with several years ago when they were a close out. Can’t speak to Leica customer service, as I haven’t needed it. I can routinely range past 700 yards, it is simple and quick with a narrow beam. I haven’t even had to change the battery, but suspect I will soon just for insurance.

I have used some ranging binoculars, and so far, have found them heavier than I want around my neck. When they lighten a bit more I’ll consider them, but for now color me happy with the 900s. And btw, all the fancy extra ballistic stuff in some of these things is just gack. I want a fast and reliable reading, period. Anything else gets in the way.

I have a ranger 1000 and have ranged elk to about 650 but not reliably in all conditions. I would guess the 1500 does a better job past 500 yards. I've no issues with the time it takes to pull a range.
