[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1154285, member: 74902"] I suspect the Leopold 1200I TBR DNA will, in reality, only range about 600~700 yards also. The general rule with range finders is they usually on range around 1/2 their rated distance on game... I have used several Bushnell, Nikon, and Leupolds and this has seemed to hold true across the board. There have been a couple exceptions though. They are the Leica 1600/1600B and the G7 from Gunwerks. These are getting outside the realm of "reasonable cost" however. I use the Leica 1600B and it is easily ranges game to 1000 yards and beyond even. Just depends on light and atmosphere. I believe it has been pretty consistent for me at 1200 yards But the Leica now has some competition and it is cheaper! It's the Sig Sauer Kilo 2000 rangefinder. It seems to outperform the Leica and that is a feat in itself. Here's a link to a good thread in the Sig Sauer. Check it out. It may be just what you are looking for.
