Best long range rangefinder?

If you have the budget for it, Steiner also has LRF binos. Pretty pricey though.

I've looked through both the 8x & 10x Geovids belonging to others over years.

They were so bulky and heavy, I just wasn't impressed. Never liked them.

I ran a nice set of compact binoculars and a nice LRF for years. Less cost. Less weight. Less bulk. Just seemed like a better setup.

Based on expert recommendations, I went ahead and bought a set of range-finder binoculars. I went with the Zeiss Victory RF 10x45. I can't say they're any better than the Geovids. In fact the Geovid range-finding reticle may be superior.

I used the Zeiss Victory RF 10x45 for the first time this last Sunday and the Sporting Rifle Match. I'm already sold.

I won't say the Zeiss are the ones to get, but in practice range-finding binoculars are awesome.

This is a case where "more than the sum of their parts" really rings true.

I tried out my Bushnell Fusions (as did others) at Raton this past weekend. The LRF functionality seemed excellent, even compared to the other LRFs I tried. The glass does have a tint to it compared to the high end options (i.e. Geovids), but for the price I'm very pleased.

I suggest you look through a pair and try them out if you have an opportunity.

another option if your not worried about weight is a Bar and Stroud like mine here.(1942) It will range past any rifle capability.It's very accurate.
