[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 473940, member: 21068"] Tested it alot under sunny skies today. The new CRF 1600 does indeed work better than my older LRF 1200, especially when the range gets beyond 700 yds. Alot of times, on small targets, I would have to shoot 2 or 3 times with the 1200 and only once with the 1600 (again, small stuff and beyond 700 or 800). It seems to have increased my range by at least 200 yds on small targets. The magnification is better, as is the clarity and resolution. I was easily able to range deer at 1000-1030 yds on 3 separate occasions. I was able to shoot in front of and behind them and get different readings on all occasions too. The 1200 was doing good just to give a reading (only did about 50% of the time). Prarie dog mounds out to 850 yds. Barren upslope hillsides out to 1300 yds. Sandstone cutbanks out to 1500, but not every time. Don't try to test on black cows:)............I couldn't get a reading until they were within 400 yds. At the same time, I was getting readings off of telephone poles against the skyline at 700 to 850 yds. The aiming square is where the reading comes from. I tried overlap on top/bottom and both sides. So long as the object is in the square, it seems to be accurate. [/QUOTE]
