Hi all,
I'm in the market for a new range finder and have narrowed it down to three options (I think...) but i don't have the ability to get hands on with them to get a better feel and make a choice. The main purpose will be target shooting 300-1000M but will get the occasional hunting trip as well.

So my choices are:

Leica Rangemaster CRF 2400R
Pros:
Best glass of the 3?
Waterproof to 1M

Vortex Ranger 1800
Pros:
Vortex warranty (I'm a vortex fan boy)
Waterproof
HCD mode
Tripod mount

Cons:
Less range

Sig Sauer Kilo 2200MR
Pros:
Angle modified range
Mil reticle

Cons:
Only water "resistant"
Bad reviews regarding aiming point on the aiming circle

All of these are around the $850 AUD mark online which is more than I want to spend but do it once do it right eh!
Whats your pick and why?

I have a vortex 1800. You won’t get to a 1000m. If you do it will be rare and not when you need it. I use it for archery hunting. Posted a wanted ad on here people were trying to sell me their 1000s and 1500s for $25-$275, I ended up finding a deal on the 1800 new for $300 in a random store. I specifically bought it because my last rangefinder got rained on during a hunt and the function became wonky. I get about 700y reliability with it and a little better depending on time of day and the terrain I’m in.
