Help with xmas gift

[Covertnoob5]

Hey all, so I'm having trouble deciding what to get my father in law for Christmas this year. He's an avid hunter, and we do some long range shooting, but he doesn't do comps or anything like that. I've narrowed it down to 2 things he both needs and wants.

1) Sig kilo rangefinder
2) Vortex Fury rangefinder binos

Now here's my dilemma and my case for each one:

For the Sig kilo, he broke his old range finder last hunting trip we took so he definitely needs a replacement. I just don't want him to feel like now he can't get ranging binos because then the Sig won't get used.

And for the Fury, he's always wanted a pair of rangefinder binos, but the problem is that he has a great pair of top of the line Leica binos already so I'm worried the step down in glass to the Fury might be a little much, just to get the ranging option. (And he's not a glass snob but definitely knows good glass when he sees it. He's got a kahles on all his rifles)

I know he really wants the Leica rangefinder binos, but I can't afford those right now at nearly $2500.

Any thoughts you guys might have would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Before you pull the trigger on the Fury you should take a look at the Nikon LaserForce 10x42 #16212, which is a very similar design, however, IMO a better unit

Please feel free to give us a call, 516-217-1000, to discuss it.

i need a new rangefinder too and i've been back and forth from crf 2700 for its ranging capabilities and the fury for it's convenience;
in your opinion what make the laser force a better option than the fury?ranging capability ,laser beam size(i'm a varminter),warranty, ruggedness?

IMO, The Nikon is optically superior and the overall feel in my hands felt somewhat finer constructed.

Doug, thanks for the input. Do you by chance still have any of the older Leica’s for sale?

Op, give Jason at Euro Optics a call, I'll bet he can do way better than $2500 on those. A good friend just did last week. Maybe just a black Friday special that he got but it would be worth checking out.

Consider the Bushnell Fusion 1-mile ARC 10x42s. I've used these for the last couple of years. They will lase a non-reflective target to a mile. The glass is good enough to allow you to glass for an extended period of time without eye fatigue. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/prod...1519245&WT.z_pg_ref=prd2528752#tabsCollection
