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.

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.

Did you reach out to Sig or send it in?

Sigs and Vortex are a good value of price:function:feature. Very popular.

I recently upgraded from my Sig Kilo 2000 to the Sig Kilo 5k and love it. It has bluetooth that ties to the Sig BDX app, so you can put in ballistic profiles and the rangefinder will tell you your drops in MRAD or MOA when you range something, and it calculates the angle and atmospherics into the output. I’ve checked it many times against my other ballistic calculators and it’s always spot on.

It’s got great range as well, as i’ve had mine range over 4,000 yards on buildings, and will easily do 2,000+ yards on targets like trees, rocks, animals, etc.

I think it’s a fantastic option for the price.

I have the vortex viper HD 3000. Ive ranged out to 1100 so far. I had one issue where at a specific angle in full sun, it wouldnt range. So far pretty happy with it.

PB Watch Eurooptic for deals on them. They put store demos and trade ins up for sale all the time. We bought a tradedin Leica from them many moons a ago and it is still going strong.

Another Leica user.

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.
