[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 657079, member: 24624"] Jeff, Thanks for the great feedback. I use the CRF1200 and find it increasingly difficult past 800 yds on whitetail. I have yet to get 3 solid readings past about 850 on deer such that I'd be comfortable with the shot. But, your comments on technique are noteworthy to say the least. It seems that the height of grass, shrubs fore/aft, light too dim/bright, fog, drizzle, etc... always interfere at the wrong time. ...or, by the time I get a lock on the target, it moves another 10 yds one way or the other. When you add in the precision of the rifle/load, margin of error for reading wind, etc... I find it difficult to pull the trigger at 800 and beyond. I guess that's what practice is all about and that includes practice with the laser range finder, reticle, or whatever tools you choose. Thanks! Richard [/QUOTE]
