Looking for a Range Finder and wondering what you have that works well. See options from $100 up to $600. Not looking to break the bank on this, but will stay away from the skinflinting junk.
Thanks

I bought an Sig back in 2020 to connect with my Sig Scope. Made calculations a breezeCheck out the Sig Sauer Kilo series. The ABS versions have the Applied Ballistics toolkit.
I have this one too, I imagine it works as well as any other $300 LRF.Amazon product ASIN B079HNKGGGView: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079HNKGGG
I like it; it's been more than sufficient for my "needs" so far.
when and where do you actually use it?Amazon product ASIN B079HNKGGGView: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079HNKGGG

Granby, to figure out how far the metal targets are.when and where do you actually use it?

i cannot recall many hunts where i would take a shot beyond 200yds. plus, up to 300 i can guess it quite good, but even a 300 shot is kinda far.I use mine hunting, and general curiosity while driving around.
What are you going to do when SIG stops making the BDX?Haven't used it yet. But the Sig kilo1600 bdx to pair with my bdx scopes
at any range or competition you know up front distances to targets.Granby, to figure out how far the metal targets are.
Maybe hunting?
PRS?
Sometimes its nice to know the distance to something, or setting up a range somewhere quickat any range or competition you know up front distances to targets.
hunting is the only reasonable application, but i am lost of what kind of hunt would need it - unless you hunt some antelopes and shoot from a klik away.
Good luck figuring out the distances at Granby. They are not written anywhere. Even if they were written, some targets get covered by plants so you might be looking at the wrong target.at any range or competition you know up front distances to targets.

All local PRS matches you’re going to be recommended to verify the target distances yourself, sometimes they’re off or misprinted.at any range or competition you know up front distances to targets.

It also functions as a 6x monocle, so that's cool. But by all means, if you only see 200 yards, it's probably a waste.i cannot recall many hunts where i would take a shot beyond 200yds. plus, up to 300 i can guess it quite good, but even a 300 shot is kinda far.
as of general curiosity - for sure, i get that... but other than that, really, not sure...
it is one of those things that i look at, from time to time, but really cannot see many if any practical use cases for it.
