[QUOTE="Broz, post: 895226, member: 7503"] For ranging deer in flat terrain you want a unit with a small beam divergence. The large beams will pick up other obstacles like corn stalks , sage etc. Think of the beam in a lase RF like a flash light beam growing in size with distance. Now lay that flashlight on the table and you will get the picture. So this narrows your search to the Leica CRF 1600 or the 1600B. To be precise with this small beam at 1000 you will need to steady the unit like you would a rifle for the shot. I stack a couple sand bags and rest mine on top of them. Make sure your fingers or none of the bag is obstructing the laser lens. Average cost new is $750 and used $550~$650 Option 2 is the Vectronix Terripin also know as the PLRF 05. This will range the deer at 1000 with ease and is top shelf equipment. The cost is around $2000 The swaro and its large beam cost me a 200" buck. That was when I started a lot of testing of different laser RF's and have owned any tested a good number of them including all the popular ones. There is a ton of info on here about laser Rf's. Type the name of the unit you wish in the search box in the upper right of any page for more info. Or just search "best Rangefinder" Yes, the leupolds are less expensive for a reason. Good Luck, Jeff [/QUOTE]
