[QUOTE="Jordan Smith, post: 657966, member: 44423"] I'm referring to both models- the LRF and the CRF. Both were about the same in ranging ability. I feel like there was a misunderstanding somewhere along the line. My Leicas were fantastic at ranging things all the way out to 1200 yards. Sometimes I could get readings on trees beyond that, and I had a few readings out to ~1330 yards, but that was about it. The readings from the Bushnell were always within a yard or two of the Leica and Zeiss readings, and as soon as I got over 1000 yards, the Bushnell was consistently more reliable in giving back readings. Beyond 1350 yards, and even the Zeiss starts to come up empty handed, while the Bushnell keeps on going all the way out to beyond 1800. I'm definitely not trying to speak ill of the Leica 1200 units. They're both very good. In fact, I used the LRF 1200 to make a cold-bore shot on a coyote at 942 yards, on a sunny day with the ground covered in snow (about the most difficult conditions for that RF to function in). It's a great unit, but it doesn't go past 1200 yards with any kind of reliability. About 1000 yards was what I could usually range deer at with them. [/QUOTE]
