I’m in the same boat. I had a high end Leupold that the lcd screen died before the battery and Leupold does not stand behind them.
Bought a Vortex 3000. That seemed really nice. Barely got to use it before some jackass stole my hunting bag out of my truck. Have a baby on the way and needing to replace binos, bag, range finder, archery release, etc. I don’t need the bear RF right now. I need the best value.
I bought my Leica in 2004/5 still use it today. Hard use and still ranging. It was not the least expensive but when I divide it by 20 it was pretty cheap by the year. Some of my buddies have bought 3 other brands since I bought mine. Mine gets cheaper every year I use it. If mine ever craps out I will call Doug and very likely buy a 2400 Leica. He seems the guy to buy from.
I used a leica 800 since the day it released until a couple of years ago. I replaced it with a sig and that lasted about a week past the warranty.
I moved to the leica3200.com but did buy a maven rf for archery season. It is a no frills device that pings incredibly far. It has a great warranty. The maven is awkward to holster with the wart on the side.....but the price and optics are a good value.
I like Votex if budget is a concern. Sportsmans warehouse has some sales going on right now (the sales end today) that include gift cards as quasi rebates as well.
