New Rangefinder Sig Sauer, Leupold other?

Leica if you can. Rarely hear about issues from owners of Leica RFs.

 

[Brandon270]

Sig 1000 would be all you needed. I have an older one that's similar specs and it has been very reliable.

 

[Boarmaster]

I dont have any other experience with any other than Leica. I bought one so long long ago I cant even tell you the exact year. Likely 2004/5. I use it a bunch during hunting season which for me is October thru April. Hot and cold temps. Banging around in a atv bag.
Or a bino harness. Dry and wet weather. I havent done it any favors. I pull the battery out in April, but a new one in October. Never failed to measure a distance if used properly.
the rubber exterior is starting to deteriorate on its surface but not too bad. When I upgrade or replace it I will look at new offerings but will very likely buy a Leica. Very likely.

Like several in this thread I prefer my Sig. I started with a nikon 550 then moved to a vortex 1500, then a Sig KILO2200. The sig was a significant upgrade over the vortex.

Leica CRF 1000...awesome!

 

[SD_Prairie_Goat]

I got the sig, so far no issues, but haven't used it hunting yet. Time will tell if its a winner...

I have owned 2 sigs and looked through others before buying the second. I like Leupold but the ease of use for the Sig ultimately locked it in for me. Of course in the store it was hard to tell difference in the glass. I have used it for both archery and rifle hunting. Mine is a kilo2200. I have ranged an animal at 900+ yards.

 

[TimeOnTarget]

I've got a Sig, Leica, and a Maven.

None of them are bad but the Leica is my favorite by a good margin.

My Sig 2000 might read to 800 yards if the stars align on a good day.
My Leica 2400 does very well.

 

[Bowmannate2000]

I really like my sig kilo1000. Very fast readings. Been using it for 2 years. No issues so far.

 

[BrentDH]

Tried jumping on the Sig bandwagon last year with a Kilo 2200. Wouldn’t turn on half the time, so returned it and stuck with my Vortex Ranger 1800.

 

[Firehead117]

If your willing to try Vortex I just saw the ranger 1800 drop to for $249 at Al’s … prob trying to offload with the 2000 announcement today from Vortex. I think it’s pretty good deal so I bit. Don’t need absolute latest https://www.als.com/vortex-rangefinder-1800-laser/p?skuId=402670

What I went with. Pretty cool features to it.

 

[BearFoot]

Like my Sig KILO 3000BDX

​

 

[Redside]

Thanks all for the advice! Leaning towards the Sig at this point, but I didn't really think about the Leica or Maven, will have to look at those as well.

 

[Khunter]

the europtics sale prices on Sig beat the others for the most part at the moment.

pondering the sig kilo1600. or kilo1600bdx


My old nikon 600 really is due for upgrade. does not even have angle compensation and rarely ranges beyond 250

 

[Khunter]

Bought the sig kilo1800bdx 3r version from Al’s sporting good for $284.
Shall see how it pans out.

Cool, it was so discounted I felt had to mention. There were only 3 left and now sold out.

The Sig 1800 BDX showed up today. Nice to point to top of hill and get 987 yds and see how it quickly live updates. as continue scanning around. And red led text is super.
