apache12 Report post Posted December 3, 2020 I need a new rangefinder would prefer on deer to 1000 yard 750 yard min. Thought I would get some suggestions from folks here on CW about which one and why. May be interested in used offers. Might not be the right spot on the forum. Happy to redirect if suggested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dkart4 Report post Posted December 3, 2020 I’ve got a sigkilo1800. I’ve ranged deer at over 1,000 yards with it multiple times. It’s very responsive. Very nice for the money IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt Report post Posted December 3, 2020 We had three in our group. Two of them had the known battery battery issues where they shut off randomly and won’t work until you pull the battery out and put it back in. I had mine quit on a stalk. I sold it and bought a Leica. The newer models shouldn’t have the issue. Ours were the 2,000. I liked everything else about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was it specific models? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpriest Report post Posted December 3, 2020 I’ve got a 2200. It’s worked perfectly. Ranges past 1000 no problem every time. Only complaint I have it the circle to aim it is a little large for my liking but they might have fixed it by now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
