- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2021Style: OTX1600 1760yd Red OLEDVerified PurchaseIve used range finders for many years for many different reasons, hunting, range curiosity, golfing, target shooting the list goes on! My last vortex rangefinder took a bath so it no longer worked. After some research and some reccomendations I decided to purchase this one, and Im not dissapointed even in the least. What you get at such a good price point is the biggest plus. The clarity, focal adjustabity, and easy of use is just as suprising as the price. Ive used other range finders and discovered that changing the settings can be difficult the first few times you use it. This one is straight forward. The mode button on the side navagates you through your settings so you can adjust them to what you are wishing to achieve. The accuracy of it is very very good as well. Obviously I didnt measure out to 1k yards after ranging what I was looking at but out to 100 yards its right on!
I couldnt be more happy this Astra Optix range finder. Ive had Vortex and Sig Sauer range finders in the past and payed almost double for simiar performance. My favorite part of this particular model is the red display. The black displays get lost in the shadows and this one is bright and easy to see in all lighting conditions.
Their handshake warrenty is a huge perk as well. Sometimes getting warrenty stuff taken care of with these kinds of electronics can be a huge pain. From their warrenty description I feel like Astra will stand behind their products 100%.
I would highly reccomend it to all of my friends who do have a practical need for one and for those who dont.
Way to go Astra for bringing an affordable hugh quality range finder to the game!!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023Style: OTX1600 1760yd Red OLEDVerified PurchaseIn my opinion, this rangefinder is a great deal!!! Easy to use, has many modes (Archery, Gun, LOS, Horizontal distance correction), waterproof and the main selling point is, illuminated display and it has a lifetime warranty!!!! I've own a Kilo1600 and after 2yrs it stopped working and sig would not even repair it.
OTX1600 is very fast in acquiring range. Slightly more expensive low end rangefinders without back lit displays but well worth the money.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2022Style: OTX1600 1760yd Red OLEDVerified PurchaseI bought this to replace a well-used 20-year-old Leica LRF1200 that fell of the back of a truck somewhere in Wyoming. Not wanting to again drop north of $600 for another new Leica, or even $300 for a used LRF, I researched numerous offerings in a pretty crowded field. This came out of that effort. My experience with the OTX1600 is viewed in comparison to my late, lamented LRF.
Pros:
- The unit’s range finding ability is superb. In Gun Mode it outranged the single-purpose LRF on soft targets (trees, brush, animals, etc) well beyond 1,000 yards. On recent outings, it easily outperformed my buddy’s Sig rangefinder.
- Having other modes makes it useful for other purposes, although since I already have a golf rangefinder, the OTX probably won’t see duty on my golf course. But the capability does make it more useful.
- The red LED readout is much clearer than a black/grey LCD.
- The low price for all this performance is a BIG pro.
Cons (i.e., minor annoyances):
- The OTX is small, light and is designed, like all the other units now on the market, to be operated one-handed. While that may be a pro to some, it makes it much harder to take readings at small targets beyond a hundred yards. And lack of a tripod mount means you have to wrestle with a sleeve in order to get the precise, long-range readings this unit is capable of.
- The optics are nothing special, again making me miss my LRF.
- While the readout from the target is almost instantaneous, the nearly 3 second delay in bringing up the bullseye-shaped target reticle when the operating button is first pressed can be infuriating if you are presented with a moving target.
- Focusing my unit is a challenge. First, the OTX focus knob is kind of loose, and the unit will work its way out of focus while banging around your neck or in a truck. Second, the focus of the image and readout doesn’t match the reticle focus. I choose to have the target view in focus and struggle with an out-of-focus reticle.
All in all, for me the cons don’t outweigh the pros, considering its actual ranging capabilities. I mean, the price was right, and I’m not sure at this point that I would want to spend a whole lot more just to clean up the minor annoyances.
