Sig Kilos have been hit or miss for me. I had a "good" one, but I dropped it while on my horse, right onto a rock. No more worky. Sig warranty dept couldn't repair it so they replaced it. The replacement absolutely sucked. It wouldn't read past about 500 yards, in good weather or if the target was reflective. I ended up buying another Kilo 2000 and it is "OK", at best. It'll read out to about 700 yards max and only if weather and terrain conditions are good. Even the slightest amount of fog has absolutely jacked all three of them all up.
The search continues. I've had a couple of Kilo 2000s and a 2200, and all of them were decent, but none were amazing. The ranging capability of my Geovid HD-R 2200 blows all three of my Sigs out of the water in every environmental condition we encounter around here. I sure would hope for a $2600 unit vs a $350 unit. Some of the compact LRFs, though, aren't all that great compared to the SIG unless they've been improved recently after the production of the one I had.

Leica 2400 or used 1600, doesn’t sound like you’d benefit from the ballistic data outputs of the 2800

On a recent hunt, the guy I was with had the Vortex 4000. They were way better than my range finding binoculars. Range further, quicker and easy to set modes. I think they have lifetime warranty

My sig 2200 were impressive for the first year now they wont read past 150 yards. My leupold 750 is good to about 300 yards max.
