I am looking foe a new rangefinder. I have a $500 cabelas gift certificate and am just seeing what folks like. Mostly whitetail and some western hunting (rifle). Thanks.

I like sig, but have had vortex and luppy.

Really comes to user preferences. I don’t care about ballistics calculators but do care about auto dim and brighting

I have a vortex ranger 1300 that i like alot

Leica

Another vote for Leica, but whatever you choose I like the yardage in red vs black. When it's dawn or dust, black is hard to read. However, red will blind you if it doesn't dim.

Did a real world test about 15 years ago where we took several rangefinders and shot them at a target at a known (measured) distance. Leica was the most accurate. I've never owned one, but if I were replacing my Leupold with something new, I'd look long and hard at a Leica.

Did that just recently with a sig kilo, leica 1600 and a new set of Swarovski ranging binos. All were within 1yrd of each other.

I ended up ordering a Vortex Diamondback HD 2000. will let yall know how I like it once it arrives.

I recently bought an off brand cheapo to replace my expensive one that I can’t find. I really don’t need to be that precise. Not a competition shooter or bow hunter.

I don’t care whether a target is 250 or 300 yards. Anything further than that, I probably shouldn’t take the shot. My days of hunting the mountains and long distances are in the past.

I have a Leupold and a Sig, they both measure well. IMO I'm going RF binos next time-why carry two products if you don't have to.

For sure the best
