I have the Sig 2200 and the Athlon Midas. The Sig reaches 1500 yards easily and 2000 on occasion. The display on the Sig is red, which is a big plus at dusk. It is a straight up rangefinder, with no angle compensation or other features, and is well worth three hundred bucks.
The Athlon Midas will reach 1000 yards with ease, and mine touches 1200 on occasion. The display is black, which is my only gripe. It does, however, give angle compensation data which is a big deal to bowhunters. At $179 from Doug, it is an absolute Best Buy, and a real bargain and value.
I carry and use both and find that both of them suit me better than did my old Leica CRF 1200. In fact, I sold my Leica as soon as I got the Sig. It says in the description that it does angles and even works with their ballistics app. BTW I figured out why the shipping came up so much, when I put in AZ for Arizona in the shipping it some how took that as the country and wanted to ship it to Azerbaijan. Old farts and computers!
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

The sale on the Leica CRF-2700B reduced from $799.99 to only $549.99 is the way to go in top quality units

The Sig is back on sale today Dec 8th at least. Just ordered one but when I went to check out the shipping was $134!!!! There is no shipping if you pick up in store so that's what I did. Don't know if that is an in-store deal only or not. Weird. I just ordered the Sig through BP as well and got 2 day free shipping to my residence. That's coming up for me at checkout as well, though I haven't pulled the trigger. $315 after tax is pretty tempting. I got mine ordered with free shipping to my residence as well.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

Trying to find a comparison - what is the difference between the 2200bdx (black) and the 2200lrh bdx (fde/green/tan color)

I recently bought a sig and am amazed at what it will range. Big improvement over my old Bushnell.

Just cows and deer so far. I always figure to take the specs of any rangefinder, and I've owned the Swaro, a couple of Leica's, Leupold, Geovid, and now this Sig.......and whatever the spec's say for ranging animals I take half that number and it's usually really close. Often times it will do better, depending on atmosphere of course.

JG have you used the applied ballistics app in your sig? Not the scope pairing but the ability to input specs of your load into the rangefinder to give you hold offs.

Yes I do use it Alaska. What I like about it is that you input your proven dope into the BDX app, and it spits out the info into the RF and displays it. I like not having to screw around with the dope chart.
