[QUOTE="crypto666, post: 451450, member: 10794"] I think you mean the CRF 1200 and CRF 1600? The 1200 and 1600 look almost identical, however they are not the same. The max range I could get consistantly with my 1200 was in the 1300 yard range with a fresh battery, the 1600 is ~1700 yards. So I think the 1600 is using a better diode, or they have boosted the current with a better driver. The price difference is a couple hundred bucks, google it for the latest. If you do not plan on shooting past 1200 yards, I would stick with the CRF 1200. It is much simpler to use and is just a bare bones RF with out all the gimmicks, I really like it. It never let me down. The CRF 1600 works well, but the ballistics that it claims to provide are worthless because they are only an estimate out to 500 yards. Why they even put it in I don't know; anyone needing a 1600 yard RF is not going to care what the holdover is up to 500 yards. For most of us that is point blank range. The atmospheric and incline info it provides is very useful and accurate and means I can leave my kestrel at home. The only regret I have from selling my CRF 1200 and getting the CRF 1600 is that I sold my 1200 for way too cheap. [/QUOTE]
