[QUOTE="L2land, post: 3048704, member: 126164"] My Leica turns 15 yrs old this year. Still awesome just doesn’t have as powerful of a laser as current stuff. 7x, great glass, light and thin. If just a basic RF is needed, these might be able to be had for pretty cheap now. Mine was about $600 in 2010. That’s a lot in 2024 dollars! Mine mostly lives in my golf bag now because the razor outperforms it for long ranges and inclines. Someone was asking about snow affecting their RF performance. From my experience it’s really about light and how strong of a laser you have. Bright days or a lot of reflection will diminish your distance. Conversely, you will get more distance ranging at night. That’s why you need overkill built in to your device. Some manufacturers like to sell their max ranges under ideal conditions, not normal conditions. My Leica was always reliable to 1000 as advertised on hard objects and could get out to about 1300 max. My razor hd 4000 will range cows at a mile and buildings at around 3000 or so on a clear day at 7000’ elevation. A little further on a tripod. [/QUOTE]
