Heres something I found that was interesting. While checking out varminthunters.com, there was a post by longrangesupply.com stating most of his 50BMG and long range customers preferred the Bushnell elite 1500 because it ranged farther than the Leica 1200 (max 900 yards).
It was a suprise because it seems most everybody is sold on Leicas. |

What were they ranging? The furtherest that I have ranged anything with my CRF 1200 is 1361 yards to be exact. As easy as it reads low reflective objects at 1200 yards, I am surprized that I can't get readings past 1400 on high reflective objects. It may be internally limited. One extremely valuable benefit that the Leica offers that the Bushnell and the Nikon do not is very good performance in low light conditions. I did not realize this until I got the unit home and tried it out.

If it ain't accurate at long distance, the fact that it is flat shooting is irrelevant.

CWPINST,
I Emailed Longrangesupply about it and this was Don's answer.
If you want/need max distance, there is only one choice under $4000 --
Here's the rest:
The longer the distance the bigger the target needs to be. The Edited by ba_50 |

Was "learning" my Swaro Laser Guide today....the farthest consistent target was a 36" x 36" state road intersection sign.... 1988 yds.
The glass in this rangefinder is fantastic. |
