[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 529716, member: 4191"] [b]Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste[/b] My Swaro 8x30 Laser Guide ranges a long ways. I haven't encountered the problem of the larger beam radius causing error in my ranged distances on game. However I'm typically ranging the game on a hillside, and whether I range the game animal itself - or the adjacent hillside - it really is inconsequential. Only a few yards difference. Nonetheless, I'm glad to have a CRF 1600 that ranges equally far. Ya never know when an animal will need ranged on the flatlands, and I've read of several incidents now where the narrower beam can be the difference between getting the correct, or an incorrect, range across flatlands. But for the time being, I primarily desired the temperature, atmospheric pressure, and angle readouts provided with the Leica. With those additional features, I can leave my Kestrel at the house, and I don't need to take any additional time to gauge the angle of inclined or declined fire. Push the secondary button and the angle is provided. So I'm pretty pleased to have a CRF 1600 that ranges out to, and beyond, 1500 yards. A thumbs up to [B]Camera Land NY[/B] for taking the time to test my unit out and then deliver a replacement that's a winner! [/QUOTE]
