[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1655645, member: 80699"] CO, I have or have had both of these, as well as a few others. Am currently working on a review of the 3k. In terms of helping you on this decision, I guess the most important question is how you plan to use your RF. Is it primarily hunting? Do you do PRS or something like that? Trying to get out to a mile on rocks? Also, what scope are you using, and what binos do you currently run? Obviously, the CRF's are lighter and smaller. The binos are probably at least as heavy as a CRF/regular bino combo, so I don't think you are saving weight. But the workflow is different, so there are benefits to consider there. One big upgrade if you are shooting over probably 600 yards is that the newer RF's (Leica 2700b. 2800.com, Sig 2400 BDX or ABS, 3k BDX etc.), all allow you to enter in a custom curve, as opposed to being limited to the presets. This pays dividends as you stretch the distances. Anyway, feel free to put up more info here, or PM me directly if that helps. I have a few reviews up covering the 2700b, the 2800.com and the 2400BDX that might help, as well as one that covers the BDX scope integration. Should have one up for the 3k hopefully sooner than later, as well as an update to the 2800 review (the original was a pre-pro unit). Hopefully, these will help you a bit in determining what features and price ranges work best for you. [/QUOTE]
