[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 514918, member: 21068"] [b]Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste[/b] There are very few evergreens close to where I live, but the cottonwoods are getting their leaves now. I've found that my Leica 1600 will repeat range with much better consistancy if I have a steady rest. Offhand, mine will not go to the full distance on natural objects, especially in bright sunlight. Steady hold, I've gotten up to 1800 yd readings on clay cutbanks. Don't know if that helps any or not, but next time I get a chance; I'll try some cottonwoods freehand and see how far I can get. In bright sunlight, on small natural targets, I also felt that the 1600 gave me just a couple hundred more yards than the older 1200 did. But since I was only after another 200 yds or so, I feel it will do what I need for now. Deer at 1000 yds is further than I intend on shooting them at this time. [/QUOTE]
