[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 566751, member: 2011"] Here are some things that I did to extend the useful range of my LRF-1200 Scan. The increases in range were significant. First I covered the 1200 with a chap leather cover for protection as it was going to be used with a steady rest of sort. I could have used a base ball stitch but I hadn't learned it yet:rolleyes:. Thus I made this work. The top of the monopod/walking stick is a wood block with a 1/4 - 20 nut imbedded. Also chap leather scrap covered. 1. LRF protective cover 2. LRF on steady rest (Monopod/walking stick) Binos work great on this also. 3. Optics stuff After the euphoria of ranging various object however small and large and far and one gets out in the wild with actual animals to range you'll find that the small beam is great for ranging between trees to reach in a bit. Pretty nice! I sold the 1200 to a young fella that used it to bag two bulls in 2010 at a very decent distances. The next step up for me may well be the 1600 as it is less costly than the PLRF that I [I]really [/I]need. Though its form factor is not convenient for a steady rest. But I will figger somethin' out.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
