LRF - SigKilo3k vs Maven CRF.1

[twil]

Anyone have experience with either? Both are ~ 200$ (sig cabelas exclusive) new and lifetime warranties.

My goal was to stay around 200 so I've narrowed it down to these.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Laser strength is very very important.
I would also recommend handling each for ergonomics and seeing how you like each display and if one is noticeably faster.

I haven’t used those two specifically.
Sig Kilo 2K didn’t do well for me in any kind of inclement weather. Mostly snowing.
Maven RF.1 is absolutely fantastic. Extremely strong laser, if I can see it I can range it. Also returns huge distance readings freehand.

Thanks for the input. I was able to get the sig 3k at 150. Will give it a shot and go from there

 

[kaleb.nosack]

Where did you find the 3k for $150?

 

[twil]

Cabelas had a version for 199. Used a discount and stacked some gift cards that I got on discount, total was 155 or so.

sigs "infinite guarantee" warranty is misleading. its only 5 years for rangefinders.



mavens for comparison is unconditional lifetime warranty on rangefinders

I have the 3k and it works fine. It mows through battery though I feel like I changed the battery in my old leupold one like once a year and the 3k I feel like I'm changing a battery every other time I take it out.

Sig changed that a year or so ago. Their electro optics now fall under the same infinite guarantee or whatever they call it.
