I bought a pawned vortex scope. Optics looked terrific! I lapped in my scope rings, mounted her up, and wtf?! Elevation is nowhere close! I gave the scope tube a little twist and sure enough it looked like the previous owner hoisted an elk with it... totally bent. I was disappointed and told a friend about my bum deal. He said “vortex has a lifetime transferrable warranty... send it in.” Worth a shot. Vortex 1) made it easy to send in, 2) communicated receipt, and 3) sent me a brand new scope! And 4) total time was ~2 weeks! Blew me away! They earned a customer for life!
I've consistently hit ranges over a 1,000 yards in the mountains. Yes they are mostly rocks, but hitting 1,100 - 1,300 consistently. Also, an above average optic with lifetime warranty and a warranty department that makes everything super easy is worth it every time.
I bought the Ranger 1300 and put it to the test. picked up houses at 1496 yards i know thats not a deer but it still picked up. i was really impressed because im used to sub $100 rangefinders.
I purchased a Leupold RX-1000i in December of 2015 and it worked great the first two seasons, but since then the display has developed dead spots and has become increasingly difficult to see. It's never been dropped or gotten wet. I take the battery out when I store it (I'm still using the original battery). It only came with a two-year warranty. I decided to contact them yesterday, and the customer service rep. told me to send it to them and they would see if it could be repaired. If not, they would offer me a significant discount on a new rangefinder. If I have to spend more money, it will probably be on a Vortex. I'm not the only person who has had this experience either. I'm not trying to be negative, Leupold makes great scopes. I just wanted to share my experience. Thanks for your video!
Hi David, thats a common thing with the Leupold, the "numbers reading" has a limited burn time/nunber of ranges. So you're light is burned out. Seems this is actually common on all ranging devices, they just don't advertised it. Have a look a the Swarovski bino rangers, they actualy advertise the "how many scans" life span it can take. My leupold did the same, my 2nd one is on its way out. Must however say, they both lasted for about 8 years of multiple rangeing sessions in sewere weather conditions. Was Highly accurate till death :-).
I had a quik look just to clarify my statement, Swarovski advertice the "life span" at a 1000 scans. At a listed price of $3600, it cost $3.6 per scan! Pricy!
Just bought the Vortex Ranger 1800. 99.0% of the time will be for hunting, 00.3% for target practice and 00.7% of the time ranging random stuff and how far away my neighbors houses are... 😆 Waterproof and warranty is what sold me on this. I'm very happy with my Vortex Diamondback binoculars also. My hunting grounds in Oregon is VERY WET and don't have much if any visibility past 500 yards anyway. Thanks for the info, I feel great about my purchase...
Bought the sig 1400bdx and had hard time reading early morn and late eve due to black read out. I returned it and got the vortex 1800 range accuracy and readability ( in low light dark background situations) were great. Good warranty for the investment!
I'm shopping.. This vortex can do meters or yards. That's a big win! I hate doing math in the field. Such an easy feature for any range finder to implement and I would expect it in these price ranges.
So I was able to use this range finder at a local range with known distances and it was spot on out to 1325’ . You might have got a bad one. Also checked 3 other shooters over a couple different trips using the exact same unit, no problems.
My ranger has sited out to 1275-1350' without issue. The issue with the Leupy is the electronics they use have a bad rap and there seems to be a constant complaint of display "burnout". I'll stick with the ranger and someday maybe move up to the Razor 4k.
Got mine in the mail today. I needed a rangefinder for archery so I long range doesn’t matter to me. But I needed the red LED for low light hunting which suits my need perfectly.
I have the previous ranger 1500 and I can consistently range over 1000 yards even on grassy hillsides. Just this last weekend I ranged a stucco house at 1528 yards. I don’t know what may have happened with your single sample, but it is very different than my experience.
Vortex is always my go-to for optics. Sure, there are less expensive brands out there, but Vortex has never done wrong by me and all of their stuff is up there in quality. So I think I'll stick with the Vortex Ranger as well, because I know the company's quality control is excellent
I like others who have commented had the Leupold RX-1000i range finder and really liked it until the display burned out on it. Since it’s considered an ‘electronics product‘ and not an ‘optics product‘ the company won’t outright replace it when it fails outside of the limited warranty period. When going to replace it I chose the Vortex range finder due to the warranty. Both range finders fit my need, so the better warranty should help keep me from having to repurchase a $500 item every few years. With my binoculars and scopes, Leupold has always taken care if any issue outright, just not with the range finder.
I owned a Leupold 1000i and it died after 3 seasons because of a known fault with the LED and Leupold didn’t refund me and instead offered a discount which didn’t add up to what I paid for the one that died. Loved the company but not backing up a bad product is enough reason for me to never buy again. After first season the display had faded and hadn’t even gotten wet.
I am a school trained Army Sniper. For .30 caliber, a shot beyond 1000m is a pretty low percentage shot, especially when dealing with wind. With the M107 it is basically another day at the office, but who hunts with a .50 cal unless you are in a combat theatre in Shitcanistan?
Bought a 1500 off eBay, had a “spot” on one of the glass layers. Sent it to Vortex and a week later had a brand new 1800. For my purposes and style…that warranty and customer care…makes this choice a no brainer. How much would any hunter pay for truly worry free gear…
Just don't loose your binoculars and the warranty will cover it.. I found a lost pair of vortex binoculars that had been sitting on the mountain a couple years. I sent them to vortex and they sent me a new pair no questions asked
I have the leupold 1000 model that I bought like three or four years. Have used it much and the red read outs are already going bad. I haven't call leupold yet about it,but I'm not happy about it. I just bought the vortex to replace it.
Reading the manual, it specifically calls out some specifics using HCD "rifle shooting out to ranges of 800 yards...(less than 15*)" and "rifle shooting out to ranges of 400 yards...(15-30*) . I wonder if you are assuming it should range out to 1800 because of it's model number. I see many comments indicating that it does range out well into the 1500 yard range. Also wonder if it make a difference using HCD vs LOS mode... I could see HCD being more limited in range and LOS not.
I live in Western NC in some of the densest woods in the country...I would love the chance to do some out West style spot & stalk...I've never even had the opportunity for a shot over 200yds
I had a Vortex 1300 that wouldn’t get a return past 500 yards. I sent it in for repair and they just sent me back a Vortex 1800. Their customer service is honestly second to none.
AWESOME Video , Great info..... Buying it NOW>>>> I would love to buy it locally but the local guys want $50.00 more than AMAZON..... Crazy right, and I can get it tomorrow.
So I guess for Bow hunting it would be great! My only concern is will the front of sight and end of sight or whatever it’s called on the razor hd make that much difference if not the ranger would be the one I want
Bought the Vortex Ranger 1800 wanting to range whitetails out to about 700 yards and I had to try 12 - 15 times just to get it to range a deer at 404 yds. There were multiple deer in the field and it finally got the closest one at just over 400. I was disappointed to say the least.
If you read the Amazon reviews of Leoupold RX models of old you get the feeling your buying a predated 2 year paperweight. Which might be the reason the Vortex is a more popular choice.
I know this is only a sample size of 1. But my results are drastically different. furthest range i have is 1,100 yards. and i have no issue ranging it. Maybe you should send that one back and try a different one.
I'm holding off on purchasing the Leupold 1600i until I hear more about it's longevity (which is apparently questionable). I might be willing to take a chance on the lesser expensive Leupold 1300i, have you tried that model?
John Doyle Leupold has an excellent warranty on their products. In case that makes the difference. I’ve heard of people sending in products ( binoculars in this case) that were no longer made and being sent better products to make up for it
@@danielboggan2479 Depends where you live. I had the faded display on my Leupold 1000i out of warranty and they offered to replace it with a new one but at US recommended retail price... I’m in Australia though, so that was only a bit cheaper than a new one. Certainly didn’t just replace it though.
@@danielboggan2479 Ahh, ok, yes their warranty on optical is good. I have heard them replace some of the defective rangefinders also, or at least give a good discount on a new replacement, but I wasn’t so lucky in Aus.
Anyone with experience? This RangeFinder comes in a package with Crossfire 10x42 Binoculars... My majority of hunting is with a bow, so I don't need an excessive amount of range. Is it worth the purchase?
Read the reviews on Cabelas. Wait 2 years and the Leopold fades out and you cant read any of the numbers and have to buy a new one. 2-4 years and its done.... vortex will be going strong in 15.
I picked up an 1800 for this year's Wisconsin white tail gun hunt... just for the waterproof rating and of course the Vortex warranty. After previously owning a Bushnell Elite 1 mile, I must be spoiled. This Ranger 1800 hunted forever while ranging trees and hillsides within 100-300 yards. My old Bushnell 1 mile was instant. My review of the 1800... its waterproof but frankly... it sucks.
Can we get a softer set of cupcakes to give a review? If I wanted a review on an ergonomic chair I might ask these two but when it comes to actual gear I can’t take advice from someone who can’t do a push up .
Mine will pick up a car at 1920 yards and I picked up a flat black metal target at 1000 yards and tree at 1180 yards so maybe it’s just that particular one you have.
I like these guys BUT they are flat out wrong about the leupold not being water proof. I have one and it’s states so in the manual. I’ve had mine for years and is awesome. I’m sure the vortex is fine but I just think the leuppold quality is better especially on the optics.
The warranty differences only really shines if it gets damaged by “act of god” or neglect. Vortex doesn’t care how it got damaged but Nikon and Leupold will not cover lightning or if you ran it over with your truck type stuff. Id like to say the tripod mount is handy for me carrying a spotting scope. My scope is clear only down to 15X and if that animal comes in closer being able to swap a small 3-6X ranger rather than lugging Binoculars in addition has been handy on occasion.
Clearly you guys have never used a tripod. The reason the Vortex is #1 on Amazon is brand. Most people ride Vortex's bag. They do make some great stuff but they're not immune to problems. BTW, the Leopold is also waterproof.
Save your money, I have several vortex products, however the rangefinders are only average. My hunting buddy had Leopold rangefinders, hands down his is a better unit when ranging over 400 yards. Honestly when compared side by side vortex is embarrassing, does vortex work, sure kinda, but others do it so much better in real world hunting situations.
Some of the comments on here. Some of you people...if you don’t like vortex don’t get it. I can slam leupold products, vortex, sig....I can even rag on the vectronics terrapin. There’s compromise to everything, be it price, range, quality, warranty or whatever.

Just an FYI Leupold RX-1600i TBR/W is completely waterproof as well!
I have the 1300 with nothing to compare it to but it works for my novice needs.
I have the vortex ranger 1500 (older model) and have gotten ranges up to 1200 on a truck... just depends on conditions I guess
bought this the other day. only used it once so far, I was easily able to range a hill at 930m at low light.
Could yall do a vid on binocular rangefinders?

Leupold website reports the 1600i is waterproof contrary to what your video reports.

Vortex offers a Lifetime warranty on rangefinders. Leupold and Nikon does not.
I would use the tripod for archery practice.
I was just ranging rocks at 1385 maybe they have updated something.

Completely flipped for my group of buddies... We all went vortex after selling leupold
What decent scope company doesn't have the same no questions asked warranty as Vortex these days...? It's essentially become an industry standard....
1300-1560 yds for me
Sig kilo is far superior to this when it comes to performance.
Until you get in cold temps... Been there done that...twice. Sig had no answer other than to keep swapping it out. No thanks.
@@Ravenrifle maybe you got unlucky, twice. Never had problems with my Kilo2000 in any temp changes.
-26 and the sig wouldn't fire
My $500 Vortex razor 4000 is better than my Wife's $200 Impact 1000. You get what you pay for with any rangefinder.
If it gives you a number it's right.

Comparison is Flawed. Tested on different days in different weather etc conditions and on completely different targets😆
