As my title says, My Sig Kilo 2000 rangefinder , died, suggestions for replacement.

Who makes the best bang for the buck these days ? The farther the better with a balance of cost?

Wow, if my memory is correct, you haven’t had it very long.

I haven’t used it much, but I like my Vortex Razor HD 4000 so far. I snagged a showroom demo unit from EuroOptic for $400…it looks like the regular price is $500.

If I paid $500, I’d still consider it a good price.

yea, seems like I have not had this laser that long, really blows as it was fine by me. I tried two sets of batteries then nada.

Maybe see if Sig will warranty it for you. Don't they have a 5 year warranty on electronics?

You can add me to the Leica camp. My 20+ year old LRF 900 works as well now as it did when it was new. I only bought the Vortex since I know the old Leica won't last forever, and it's range is pretty limited compared to modern units.

I was looking through EuroOptic's Demo/Used section, and clicked the Vortex button and the HD4000 is $400.

I’ve had a Nikon for 10 years that has served me well. Didn’t break the bank and registers what I aim it toward.

PB,

I’m sure you tried everything but…Just to cover the bases, I thought my Kilo 1600 died earlier this year but somehow the auto brightness got turned to manual and was turned all the way down to where I couldn’t see it. Just one last thing to check if you didn’t already.

Thanks man. I was hoping someone would have an idea. I’ll try to figure that out.

As far as handhelds go, I'm a big fan of the Leica models.

I have a leica 2200b or something. I don't like the operation of its ballistic calculation features so I don't use them. I use it strictly as a range finder. And it tells me the temp. It works great and I like it.
