LRF Advice

Hello all, I am in the just getting my feet wet stage of learning to shoot long range, and the next purchase I am looking to make is a rangefinder. I am looking for something that works reliably and has good warranty so I don’t have to worry about it for a long time. I am strongly considering the Vortex Razor HD 4000, as I do not want to spend more than $500, and it seems like it fits my criteria well. The next planned purchases will be a kestrel and maybe a book so I can hopefully somewhat learn what I am doing correctly, so advice on these items would be welcome too.

My actual question is specific to the integration of the LRF to other devices, ie. kestrel, phone, etc., and/or where you can load ballistic info for your rifles into it. Is this functionality something I should consider paying more for, if so which functions are important and/or work well? Or is this something I should not mess with until I learn it on my own first?

Thank you
 
I use Leica LRF, I have a set of Geovids that I got from Doug they have been great but more then your budget. I also us CRF Leica‘s and there great also. Dougs deal ^^^ is a good one. With the b models you can download your rifle ballistics into the CRF and it will display in the eyepiece. Models that talk to other devices will be more then your budget, good luck.
