I have a Sig Kilo2200BDX and love it. You can create profiles with your ballistic data on your phone and upload them to the ranger finder itself. From there it will give you your holdeovers right in the display while you're using it.

I purchased a Halo 450 XL. Inexpensive and has served me well for years. With range finders like scopes. There is quite the range of prices. I want something to simply range at the distances I shoot my airguns.

Its like many things, you can spend as much as you want. I have an older Nikon. It has a basically flat back where the eye piece is. I have looked at another one in the store, don't remember the brand, but the eye piece was extended back from the overall body, and that made it MUCH easier to acquire your target. So my recommendation decide the features you want and lay your hands and eyes on some at a local store.

I range find with my scope parallax . 10 yard to 100 as i do not shoot any farther, but you can range this way out farther .

Sig Sauer Kilo 1000. It’s there most inexpensive model. I like it because it will range as close as 10 yards, maybe a little closer.

Thanks for info
I’ll be heading to bass pro to see what are my options.
I hear good things about sig range finder hopefully they have some in stock at bass pro
Or my local ammo bros

They suck on anything black and low light, is my experience. Stick with nikon, vortex or sig second tier just not bottom end. If it measures down to .1 yards they are usually pretty accurate.

ive been extremely happy with a bushnell prime 1300 i picked up on clearance at sportsmans warehouse,
huge field of view,very very bright,
has angle compensation,
you can even change the reticle
(i always have it set on a single small dot,
and unlike other rangefinders ive had that i had to figure out where in the reticle it actually takes the range from,
it ranges dead on the center of the dot,
huge help on ranging small pests.
best part is,
it was on clearance for $100 ......bonus

I guess yours did, mine has been fine in many different environments… notice that nowhere in my post did I suggest the OP buy one. But mine “has” served me well.

Fwiw i wanted illumimated, angle comp, rock solid warranty and CLOSE ability. Best price with those things.
Only one that ended up ticking all boxes wqs Athlon Midas 1 mile. Got it from opticsplanet and very satisfied with it. Optics aren't Leica, but it also wasn't close to a grand, so.

I have a Sig Kilo BDX1800. Got it on sale a couple years ago as well. Works great for me, though I have not used all the features or used any others to compare. I would buy it again.

I have the Nikon Laser 30. A few things to consider when shopping:
Rangefinders have different accuracy levels. Some are +/- 1/2 yd while others are +/- 1 yd or possibly more. The display digits does not represent how accurate the unit is. Read the manual if it isn't in the advertised specs.
Pay attention to the minimum distance you can rangefind to. The units vary. If just for airgun use the max limit will not be a consideration.

Some years ago I purchased a Swarovski Laser Guide 8X30 Rangefinder. This was my 3rd rangefinder over the years
I am well satisfied with it but this model is now discontinued however i see one advertised on ebay.
Suggestion -visit large gun and/or camera stores that carry rangefinders and test as many any as you can.
If you plan to keep/use it for some time buy a good one
Research on line then enjoy your purchase.
