I think Nikon may have just raised the bar with an absolute beast of a rangefinder called the Black RangeX 4K.
The new offering is nearly as compact as the Leica LRFs, has red LED readout...and over a 2 mile ranging capability rated at 4000 yards!!!
No ballistics calculator in it that I'm aware of, but I ever use those things in LRFs anyhow so missing that feature isnt a big deal to me personally.
Best part is Nikon employs target priority ranging. This is where my Leica LRFs have always failed me. Cannot use the Leica in any sort of precipitation or fog.
I owned a Monarch 1200 years ago and it was a very solid and reliable LRF. Always performed well within or beyond its specifications. Could range trees out to 1300 yards on a cloudy day and good atmosphere.
With the new Nikon Black RangeX 4K priced at only $449 and carrying a 5 year warranty, I decided to take a shot on it. Should be at my house in a week, but i wont be home from working overseas until June 15th. I'll let you all know how it performs when I get the chance to test it. So excited to try out this monster
