I dont mean to step on any toes....but I thought it worth mentioning that Cabela's has the Leica CRF 1600 in their 4 day sale (from April 15 - 18th) for $549 - free shipping. I know Alex has them on sale currently, and I thought about not posting this actually, but this is a pretty limited time and an additional $100 off....if anyone has been contemplating this one. I just happened across it while I was looking for some add'l general info on them. I am not interested in the ballistics - but want it for the glass, incline, atmospheric info, and HOPFULLY the capabilities (I know some here have had issues with the ranging beyond 800 - although others mention it was likely a bad unit). Talked to David at Leica and c.s. seems very good if it doesnt meet expectations. I have one on the way so we'll see. I think at that price it's worth trying out IMHO.

Thank you, something to think about for the next couple of days. Wish it had more consistent reviews...

And I'm going to slowly back away from this thread. I just need to keep telling myself my Leica 1200 is just fine. Yep, I've gotta slowly walk away. You guys just kill my savings account. ha-ha

HAHA sorry man...been contemplating this for some time and pulled the trigger finally. Guess I am willing to give it a try for $550 since Leica seems to want to stand behind the product, so we'll see. Although I wouldnt think I'd spend the money if I already had a 1200. My only hesitation was that Alex is listing them here too and I didnt really want to step on his balls - but it seems to be a pretty limited 4 day sale so I thought I'd let the Hide know just in case anyone was on the fence - like I was.

I just called Cabelas and they say they don't even carry the 1600?

</div></div> The 1600 was on sale until they sold out. They've been discontinued in lieu of the new model.
 
Re: Leica CRF 1600 Cabela's 4day sale

I got one before they sold out. I used my Cabela bucks and free shipping. I was going to get the new 1600B but once it dropped to 549.99, my son and I decided the new features may not be worth the different for us.
 
Re: Leica CRF 1600 Cabela's 4day sale

It was the 1600 on sale. I just received one for a buddy and did some testing already. I was getting grass and dirt hills from 1400-1650 yards. I had some first attempt readings at the side of a house at 1775 and 1834. It looks like this one is good to go!

Confirm it was the 1600. Tracking says mine will be here tomorrow. Hopefully I get similar results as Scot E seeing as its rec'd a few bad notes on here.
 
Re: Leica CRF 1600 Cabela's 4day sale

I guess I missed this when I was reading about the specs but unless I am missing something still, this unit only gives the line of sight angle in degrees but doesn't give you the corrected yardage based on the angle.

Not a big deal but I am a bit surprised seeing that this feature has been out for a number of years now.
