Re: Leica Rangefinder
I have a Leica 900 lazer rangefinder very accurate and I think worth the money.

I bought mine on Fleabay I'll see if I can find what I paid.

Re: Leica Rangefinder
At the time - 6 years ago - I paid £80 or $130 which for the UK was reasonable. I'm not sure how the new version performs but Leice is cracking kit.

I have the 1200. On a clear day at my buddies property, I can hit the trees at 1400 yards.

Re: Leica Rangefinder
I have a LRF 1200 I nabbed from eBay. It's a great deal. I am happy with it. Sure a CRF would be nicer (more compact) but the LRF does what I need for .308 ranges.
If I was rocking a .50BMG I would need a little more power.

Re: Leica Rangefinder
Get the 1600 if you are gonna get one.
I have the 1200 and it will range a billboard farther than 1200 (like 1300 IIRC) but has a hard time under field conditions ranging trees reliably past about 800. It iwll get large targets at the longer ranges and sometimes hillsides too, but it is weather dependent. sunny days make it hard to get stuff.
my thought is that the 1600 should have a better time getting the stuff between 800 and 1200 thna the crf1200 does.
I had to send mine back to Leica for work, it was not ranging past 400. they replaced it without drama.
IIRC the 1200 is no longer made in favor of the 1600 now.

Re: Leica Rangefinder
i have the 1200 that gets year round work. When it's not bouncing photons off of deer/elk it's ranging prairie dogs, crows, targets, etc.
I really like it and have no need for ranging anything beyond 800 (or 500 really) as I don't target shoot at long range, doesn't matter to me if it can't reach out farther than 1200.
The newer 1000 and 1600 have an internal inclinometer which might be nice if you're hitting metal way out there.
Good choice! I wouldn't pay more than $400 for a used one, otherwise a newer one makes way more sense.

When conditions are clear, yes, I have ranged right at 1400 yards.

Same here...got mine off ebay too for I think it was $380 shiped. I like the older style too, its a lot easier to hold steady to me.
