Hi quality range finder options

[Rabid]

Hi guys just wanting some input on range finders. I would like it to be good for 1500 to 2000 yards. The new Leica interests me but without using it in foul weather I wont know how it will perform. Any advise would be great.

If you want to consistently range at 2000yds (and well beyond), forget the Leica/Swaro/Zeiss/Bushnell units and start looking at something like a Vectronix Terrapin. The price is not for the faint of heart, but the performance is unreal.

Dunno how good they are but one of the forum sponsors, Tactical imports sells LRM range finders.

Might be worth a look.

I bought a Leica 1200 older model and the best I can reach so far is a couple inches
under 1000 yards.
Haven't reached the claimed 1200 even with a new battery.

They do but it was hacked twenty20insight.ca

Assuming that is the one he was talking about, I just googled it after this thread.

It also depends on how reflective your target is.

When I used to do some surveying, we could get approximate shots on various objects from 300 to maybe 600m if it was reasonably reflective. But when we used a prism (a 3" diameter mirror/reflector) we could get 2+km to a few cm.

Ok, I'll check out the Vectonix. I'd rather pay and cry once. I've been down the cheep road and that doesn't cut it anymore.

That is the correct site, if it's not back up soon pm me and I can give you their contact info

Check out the G7 BR2. It's a 2000yd rangefinder and ballistic calculator all in one. I tested one out at Grouse River and was impressed, but not prepared to fork out $1700 just then.

Pretty sure Eurooptic.com will export them for you. I know they have done the paperwork and exported Scopes to a few guys.

20twenty is in Canada and the same price as EuroOptic

You can post contact info, just no hotlinks.

Our LRM series monoculars start at 1500m and go up to 2200m all under $1000. The 2200 model also features inclometer and speed. We have found these models to perform as advertized; even reach out futher in some cases.

Talked to Vectronix, they told me they didn't have a Canadian dealer so I talked to Europtics and they wont export them up here. If I could talk to twenty20 that would be great but I cant find any of the contact info for them anywere. Dont know which way to go next.
