OK, maybe that should be "LRF AND Spotting Scope".
I have ~$1500 to spend on a LRF and a spotting scope. Distance used would be up to like 1200m, maybe further in the future, punching paper and ringing steel at unknown distances. I would like the LRF to be compatible with the Kestrel 5700 link. Can I get some suggestions on what to spend that on? I have _heard_ that I am better off spending more of it on the LRF than the spotting scope, due to the spotting scopes kinda running out of steam in picking up holes and drift much past 200-300. I currently have a trashy spotting scope that works acceptably at 100. I am trying to do a buy-once cry-once sort of deal here.
I will start the discussion off by saying I'm leaning towards a Sig Kilo 2400BDX for the LRF. I don't know anything about decent spotting scopes. Thanks!
