Budget Bet – Prostaff 1000i Rangefinder  

If all the talk about optics and hardware and bells and whistles is just a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to you and you just want a rangefinder that does its job—reliably—then the PROSTAFF 1000 and 1000i is where your journey ends. Reliable, straightforward and most importantly, affordable, the Prostaff 1000 Rangefinder has everything the average hunter needs. This rangefinder features a 6x optical system that allows for fast target acquisition for everything within 600 yards. Additionally, the Prostaff 1000i utilizes Incline/Decline Technology for accurate distance perception from various angles. This rangefinder is small enough to fit in your pocket and designed to resist harsh climates and rain so that the only thing you must worry about is finding a good spot and ranging the distance to your target. ($197, Amazon)  

Top-Shelf Performance Rangefinders – Sig Sauer Digital Balistic Kilo 2400 ABS  

The Sig Sauer Digital Ballistic Laser Rangefinder Kilo2400ABS is the rangefinder that does it all. With the capability of reaching a target two miles away, this rangefinder does not cut any corners. The Sig Sauer Kilo 2400 excels in all the ways a traditional rangefinder does but utilizes innovative technologies to go above and beyond other rangefinders. Sig Sauer’s Ballistic Laser Rangefinder utilizes a simple-to-use phone application to provide the user with essential information about their environment. It is capable of calculating Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift and Coriolis Effect, as well as temperature, humidity and pressure changes with information on how to adjust for muzzle velocity shift. To top it all off, the Kilo2400 uses HyperScan technology to provide four range updates per second while the RangeLock technology reports the most recent range result when ranging targets—all while displaying the distance to the nearest tenth of a yard.
