I’m trying to find out which laser rangefinders have a feature I’m interested in.

It’s the ability to set the targeting so that it gives the range to the farthest object in its sensor view or it gives the range to the closest thing in its view. In the far view mode, for example, it would ignore a close power line or tree branch and give the range to the building behind. Or in the close view mode it would give the range to an animal and not to the much larger cliff behind it.

I have a rangefinder that allows those settings, but in looking at other units I haven’t found any that advertise that feature. One very expensive rangefinder can be set that way, but I had to dig into its operating manual to find it.

So, does your rangefinder have that capability? I would appreciate model identification and then yes or no on the feature. Thanks for all replies.

My Sig kilo 1000 has the best/last feature.

So equivalent to the "far" setting of my one unit.
Thanks much. I thought that more shooters these days would have laser rangefinders.

Bump, and here as well:

I have a Vortex Ranger 1800 but I admit that I haven't explored every single feature. I started shooting PRS last winter, and they give you the distances for each target. So while I have been teaching myself a TON about using my kestrel with elite ballistics software, working on my positional shooting, and refining both my loading technique and getting the best external ballistics dope possible. I haven't spent a lot of time refining the use of my range finder. I use it at my home range when practicing, but just a simple bounce off the plate, on targets that are generally pretty easy to range.
