Looking for my first rangefinder and have narrowed down to a Sig Kilo 1000 BDX or a Bushnell Nitro 1800. Both have LCD displays as I find this better for hunting in Canada where snow cover is almost always present during rifle hunting season. Does anyone have some insight as to what rangefinder is superior and why?
My current assessment of the units are as follows.
Pros of the Sig are: BDX compatibility with my BDX scope, 4mm exit pupil, a beam divergence of 1.5x0.25, $220 (CAD), tight aiming reticle
Cons: limited to 600 yard deer range, 1000 yard overall range, cannot connect to my Kestrel
Pros of the Nitro: 800 yard deer range, 1800 yard overall range, upgradeable to 2000 yards, connects to my Kestrel
Cons: 3.7mm exit pupil, unspecified beam divergence, cannot connect with the BDX scope, $350 (CAD), large aiming reticle
