[QUOTE="Broz, post: 540481, member: 7503"] The Leica CRF 1600 has a beam divergence of .5 x 2.5 mrad. I feel it is the single most important information when choosing a RF. I have been through most all of them and have been bitten by the big beam units. The Leica is the smallest I have found besides my Vectronix. There is a reason the highest priced mil spec units have small beams. Not trying to rain on anyones parade, just stating what you asked and what I have learned after a few years of a lot of field testing in different terrain. A RF that gives a more precise accurate range is better than one that gives longer distances, if the longer distances are not what you are ranging. For example a bush 50 yards closer. To give you an idea the swaro beam is 6 ft x 6 ft at 1000 yards and that is smaller than the br2. Think of the beam like a flashlight on the wall. The farther you back up the bigger the beam. Now, lay the flashlight on flat ground. The bigger the beam the more ground it covers. Jeff [/QUOTE]
