I have an older Bushnell Medalist rangefinder. Few of days I start to have trouble guessing the correct range.
Now I want to buy Sig Kilo 2000.

Its specification is:
Magnification Range: 7x
Finish: Matte black w/Rubber
Objective: 25mm
Eye Relief: 0.59? (15mm)
FOV: 34.6? @100 yards
Max Range: 3400 yards on Reflective targets
1500 yards on trees
1200 yards on deers
Reticle: Circle with data
Battery: CR2

If this rangefinder could do that for me or you have any other opinion, I would be happy.
Any opinions is helpful for me. Thank Yo.

I'm no expert, but that's a lot of money kind of rangefinder...!

I've got one of these Nikon Coolshot for a whole lot less. It's my second Nikon rangefinder, it was bought as a gift even though my older one was still functioning. Never had any problems with either, and found them to be much easier to use than a friends Bushnell - which for some reason I couldn't even see the flag through the viewfinder (strange colour?), let alone pick up any flag the time it was lent to me. The Nikon is just simple, press the button, point and shoot, picks up inside 400 yds with ease.

I still use a Bushnell V2
Had it for what seems like years and all it needs is a new battery every now and again.
Easy to use, easy to hold

+1 for the V2, had mine for a long time now, maybe 5 years, and its still handy to use, new battery every few months is about all it needs!

I have a Medalist as well OP and I found the distances were a bit off - have you tried a fresh battery? You'd be amazed!

The rangefinder specs you've mentioned sound like a hunting tool, bit over-engineered for a golfer perhaps?
