Asking salary range up front for LinkedIn recruiters

I have been getting more LinkedIn recruiters reaching out lately and some of the positions sound interesting and I would like to find out more.
I am wondering if it is a dick move for my first response to essentially be “what is the salary range offered for the position?”.
I don’t want to waste anyone’s time if the comp isn’t there. I know I can search blind and levels fyi for the recent offer comps but does not work for smaller companies or more obscure roles.
TC= 250k (stock appreciation). 5yoe
Should I ask for the range up front before taking “intro call” or no?

Anytime during the process when I asked what the band is for this role. The recruiter dodged it. He said our offer acceptance rate is 80 percent. I am like okay. But ended up wasting my time and rejected their offer at the end. Be up front about expectations is a good thing
