$200-250 basic rangefinder

[270quest]

Going to get my son his first rangefinder for christmas...He has really taking an interest in big game hunting, long range shooting, etc. He has a set of 10x42 Viper HD binos, so I thought I would upfit him with a rangefinder... I screwed around and missed the Cabelas Black Friday deal that had the Viper HD 3000 on sale for $250....So want does the Rokslide Crowd recommend - no to exceed around $250?

vortex is awesome, even the diamondback because of the lifetime warranty on electronics. Everyone else only offers 3-5 yrs.

Midway has the SIG 2500 for $100 off.

This is one of the few things I would recommend vortex for, but with the warranty, vortex. I have the HD 2000 and can get a solid reading at 1,000 yards, even in relatively flat prairie antelope hunting
