New rangefinder under $500 ???

Varmint Hunter · Oct 11, 2024

I'm looking for a new rangefinder to replace an old Sig. I want a basic unit without ballistic software. I do want reasonably good optic quality, ranging on critters out to about 1,000 and simplicity of use.

I'm currently looking at a Raven RF1 but I'm open to other suggestion within my price range. Your thoughts?

RF.1 - 7x25 | 5-4500 YD

The Maven RF.1 represents our elite range finder, delivered for a fraction of comparable rangefinders’ costs.

The Maven you're looking at would be a good choice. I don't know much about the Leica Doug recommended, but he knows his stuff. If he's recommending it, it has to be good.

Anyone with experience with the Maven RF1? Other suggestions?

This! I have had a Leica 1600B since they came out, it's an amazing unit and I paid around $800.00 back then. I was using it just this morning to range deer.

Leica CRF 2400R or Revic BR4. Both have great glass and over a 1000 yd capability. That said, I'd opt instead for the Leica range finding binocular instead of carrying both a binocular and a separate range finder. This way you're not fumbling around with 2 gadgets, increasing time, and increasing weight.

The Athlon Midas 1 mile has served me very well.

I have the Maven. It's fast and accurate. I haven't tried it beyond 2650 yards, but it doesn't have any issues out to that distance.

I've got a Swarovski 8x30 laser guide I'm not using I'd sell you if you're interested? PM me and I'll send you pics. Great glass and excellent rangefinder. Swaro - what else do you want??!?
