    The Leica 2400 R is also $1000 (although I got mine for $800 from Lacklands at the 2019 Shotshow).

    I know which one I would get and it isn't the Ranger.

    I’m guessing you are talking abut the ranger rangefinding binoculars? I have no experience with them but you generally get what you pay for. You do often see the bushnell 1 mile rangefinding binos second hand for a similar price. Personally I would opt for the most expensive binos your budget allows and start off with a cheaper rangefinder. People are having good results with the cheap aliexpress rangefinders.

    Also, I’m not sure if the ranger rangefinder binos have a tbr function. So you may need to find the shooting angle and calculate the true ballistic range or put the range and angle into your ballistic app.l to do it for you. If your really wanting rangefinder bino’s I’d keep an eye out for a good second hand pair of bushnell 1miles.
