Rangefinder

[Benjblt]

I've had a Leupold RX-1200i for about 8 years and the digital reading is fading. Any suggestions on a good rangefinder? Looks liker there a lot of good ones for about $200. This seems like a good deal https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTFMGY2L/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A86M66Z7Z0Z95&psc=1. The only thing I would like is angle compensation. My main concerns are reliability, warranty, and angle compensation for bow hunting. A side benefit would be ballistic features and extended range for rifle shooting/hunting.

Looks like a pretty good deal. What's the warranty on the Athlon?

Maven CRF.1 is a good option for a budget range finder.
