[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 979052, member: 48559"] I have the 1600CRF and find it to be very practical. Advertised as a 1600 yard device, I have gotten good reflections on livestock that far out, and rocks, cliffsides, and buildings to 1977 so far. The key to getting good readings with any rangefinder is the same as hitting with your rifle: solid stable support for the tool. You intend shooting at fairly modest range (for now) but also mention the atmospheric variables. I don't get many long shot opportunities where I hunt in PA, but still like to be prepared. I have taped some "cheat-sheet" info right onto my CRF, where it will never get lost, unless the lanyard breaks. When I range a potential target, the dope adjustments for temp/alt/angle are all right there in my hand. I know a G7 BR2 would be more precise, but like you, I have budget limitations at the present time and must use what I can afford, and prefer to spend the available money on the rifle itself. I don't use the "holdover" feature of the Leica, but have my custom drop dope on my turret for the effective range I intend to hunt. [/QUOTE]
