I was all gung ho this morning to order a Kilo 2200 BDX from Amazon for less than $400
I got to looking at reviews and they are about 50/50 good vs bad on several sites.
Thoughts on the 2200 and anything else you would suggest.
Thanks

Definitely Leica!
The CRF-2700R is also a good option. The ‘R’ model also compensates for uphill/downhill shooting angles....but, doesn’t have the ballistic software that the ‘B’ model does. From my perspective, there are better options for getting a ballistic firing solution, if you want to shoot beyond intermediate ranges.

Ordered the Leica 2700B from Doug on Tuesday. UPS delivered today (Thursday). Boy is this range finder sweet. Been working on my mule barn all day so didn’t get a whole lot of time to scope it out.
Doug delivered on service, price and product.
Thanks Doug!

Nothing beats a combo bino plus rangefinder duo all in one set up! I bought a Leica bino/rangefinder last year and love it! It's nice having both together rather than lugging around 2 and having to switch back and forth.

Leica rangefinder-bino combo worth their weight in gold! If you have to buy both it's a lot better buying the combo. I got a great deal on a demo model on Cameraland. If you aren't in a hurry you may also be able to pick up an almost new pair for a giant discount on this websites classified section.

One bad thing is you lose “ one” you lose both. Or forget it, or it brakes. I have forgotten my Bino s at home a time or two, no big deal I still go. I have forgotten my range finder at home, I turn around and go git it, or I just don’t go. And if you lose one ( I’ve been known to do also) i am not having to buy both. I can go a while with out binos if I have to, not so much with the range finder. And oh yea, I have a sig 2000 and an older busnell I keep in my pack as a back up. Both work great, of course the sig is my preference. Very happy with it so far.
