    Basic (ish) rangefinder

    Looking at splashing out on a new rangefinder.

    Would like it to be reliable to 600 on animals as small as say a wallaby and targets to the same.

    Needs to have TBR.

    Not too fussed on Bluetooth, just a simple distance and I can look up my drop charts and go from there.

    As good as warranty as possible.

    I currently have a tbr1200 leupold and it takes a few clicks out at 400 and about 20clicks to get 600 if it ever does.

    I'm looking at a sigsauer 1600 or 1800bdx, I'm happy to pay a few hundred either way to get something I won't get frustrated with, I think all of this is a basic rangefinder these days?

    Yes. I just bought one and used it on my last trip. Excellent.

    Have been using a delta RF2000 for the last year or so. Been working well for me. Longest I've been able to get a consistent reading on is 1900yds. That was on a rock face and just hand held.
    No issues at all with ranging on animals out to ~1000yds with first ping, then another couple to make sure.

    In short, it can range way further than I can shoot.

    Arguably better optics than anything out there in that price bracket or even more.
