Going to be making my first purchase on a range finder...i have read and watched a few reviews on each. I have used a Leica 1000 once before and was impressed. But I also love the idea of having Binoculars and a range finder combo. I believe I have no use for either one of their ballistics programs built in. What are your thoughts, impressions and experience? Thanks for any advice!

Re: Bushnell Fusion 1600 VS Leica CRF 1600?
Had a Bushnell range finder (sold) that could hardly range half of its rated distance and a Leica 1200 (current) that will do 1000+yards all the time and 1340yards on a good day. Will upgrade to the Leica 1600 when I have the spare $$$.

Re: Bushnell Fusion 1600 VS Leica CRF 1600?
they advertise that they have preloaded bullet drops built in...you have to find one that fits closely to your ammo. only feature i think i would use other then the distance is the angle feature.

I think the new bushnell fusion in both monocular and binocular are a great choice. Imho they have the best laser of all the sub $1000.00 choices.
And yes they do or at least did offer a built in bullet bullet drop , but as with all of the pre loaded programs its has limited use.

+1 for the Leica 1600....Have had one,sence they came out w/ NO probs. Clear glass!
Sorry, have never used the ballistics feature.
Had a Leica 1200, befor that, with NO probs.
Remember.....You get what you pay for!

thanks for the info; I am really going to try and get my hands on fusion just so i can give it a fair chance.. but i am leaning heavily to the Leica...its size has its appeal to me.

My fusion rocks, kicks the snot out of my old leica 1200, I've noticed those that don't like them are referring to a different model other than the fusion 1600's.

Re: Bushnell Fusion 1600 VS Leica CRF 1600?
i never used the Leica 1600 but had a 1200 and it couldn't laser a 12 inch plate past 600-700.
I now have a Bushnell Fusion 1600 and have lasered 12 inch plates past 900 and a cow to 1500yds.
I realy like the bushnell fusion as its a dual pupose for me since i hunt alot as well.
Leica quality of glass is excellent and as stated i have no expereience with their new one, but i'm diggin my Fusions.

Re: Bushnell Fusion 1600 VS Leica CRF 1600?
I have both the Leica 1600, and the Bushnell Fusion 1600, and Swarovski range finders. The Leica work good, after I had to send the first ones back. Would not range anything past 500 yards. Swarovski Had to sent back three times. Still having a hard time past 1000 yards. The Bushnell Fusion are hands down the best range finders I have used so far. Plus there are a good pair of bino's. I got the Bushnell's for the ranging capabilities.

Bushnell Fusion's here. I used to have a CRF 1200, and LRF 1200. The Bushnell's range 600+ yards further than Leica's. The Leica's (both of them) only got to about 700 yards.

+1 for Bushnell.
Can't compare it to Leica or Swaro as I never handled either one. But Bushnell got me perfectly on targets, confirmed with the first shot hits taken with Bushnell-produced range fed into Bullet Flight calculator. So far up to 1000 yards, hope to "grow longer legs" (soon?).
