My Sig BDX Kilo1600 has been great as my primary ballistics solver. That's an old model now, but I'd buy any of their current BDX models if I needed a new one. I believe some of them have archery mode now as well.

Sig Kilo rangefinders are amazing. I have owned three of them over the last 10 years and love everything about them.
:yeah:Love my Sig, had it 4 or 5 years and works flawlessly. Ranged out to over 1500 yards with it today. Auto brightness LED, angle comp etc

If you can afford to get a good rangefinding binocular you may never use an ordinary rangefinder again. A few years ago I bit the bullet and bought the Leica 10x42 Geovid 3000, its clearer than my swarovskis and I have not used my rangefinder since getting the Leica's. I love them!
I'm planning on going to the Revic's next year. I've heard, "regular binoculars are for looking at animals, rangefinding binoculars are for killing animals"

What are people doing when the electronics go bad inside their binoculars. Most rangefinders last 5-7 years, in my experience. So when the rangefinder goes bad inside the 3K dollar binoculars, are you just SOL?? I have a set of Swaro's that are over 20 years old and still have amazing glass.

I wasn't aware of that being an issue with RF bino's. The Revic's have a 2 year manufacturer warranty with a 3 year "goodwill" warranty on electronics from Revic on top of that for 5 years as I understand it. They've only been out for a year-ish, so no real longevity reviews beyond that.
Revic Optics, a subsidiary of Gunwerks LLC, warranties the mechanical and optical parts of their products to be free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of five (5) years, and the electronic parts for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase. After the manufacturer's warranty period, Revic Optics will, at it's sole discretion will cover the costs of labor and/or materials of repairs for mechanical and optical parts for an additional period of five (5) years, and for electronic parts for a period of three (3) years on a goodwill repair basis.

SIG really seems to be the go to for range finding at the most affordable rate without having to worry about sending them in every year.

This is why I went with the Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB when I was shopping a couple years ago. The fact Vortex has lifetime warranty no matter what was the deciding factor for me. I haven't regretted my choice at all and at this point can't imagine not hunting with range finding binos. It is so fast and easy.

For archery or rifle? With or without ballistics?

I have the same one. It works excellent. Except in fog. I have yet to see one that does work in fog though

I haven't heard of any going bad? I don't know how Leica's warranty is, never had any Leica go bad?
