Rangefinder for 3D and hunting

[Bobonli]

I am looking for a RF to be used for hunting and 3D. My ability to judge distance is pretty inconsistent so I'd like to get some practice in pre-season. After looking over a lot of threads and reviews, the Leupold models with TBR and DNA get good reviews. I'd like to have one with angle compensation. Unfortunately, the current models ( I was looking at the 1300i) are back ordered through April according to Leupold. I'm not sure I want to wait that long.

Please suggest suitable alternatives. The local F&S seems to favor Vortex but I've read some mixed reviews. The Bushnell Scout is another unit that pops up in the Google shopping search.

Thank you.

The new Nikon 7 seems to be the ticket

I have the RX 1200 i , it works great . It even picks up black targets . A couple guys i shoot with have trouble ranging black targets in the woods with what ever it is they are using .

i have a Nikon.  It has worked great, never had an issue.

The 1200 is discontinued. I’m a bit reluctant to buy something discontinued on the outside chance it has issues and Leupold says “ you bought a discontinued product..”  Some optics companies can be a PITA about that sort of thing.

Anyone here using a Sig Kilo; in particular, the 2000 with auto brightness adjustment? 

They get good reviews--and are available unlike the Leupolds that are backordered-----just not sure if 7x magnification is the way to go for close quarters work like tree stand or blind hunting,

I would wait on a leupold. Most guys at camp.have switched to them after borrowing one. Light gathering is top notch on dark a d dim targets

Thank you, G-Man.
