Hey guys I am looking for a Ballistic Rangefinder for hunting and PRS. I assume one with storable profiles and applied ballistics would be the best bet. I will use with multiple guns and calibers. What do you recommend? I don’t really Binos but if the best one is in a binocular then that works.

I used the first generation gunwerks rangefinder quite a bit. I really liked it and it worked quite well for hunting scenarios. Whereas i used it in conjunction with a wind meter, i preferred reading indicators the most (reading mirage, dust, tree/ vegetation movement). The 5-15mph estimations for me were predictable enough for to make accurate shots. If you are hunting and using the estimations lots of practice in different elements is key. The gunwerks lrf gives you wind readings but its up to you extrapolate the the input to the scope. I was able to have all my loads and velocities pre loaded in the gunwerks rangefinder and it just plain worked. The newest model adds to the versatility of the original. I don’t have any time with the other ones you mentioned so i cant speak for them. Btw gunwerks is running a closeout sale on the original br2 for $750 on their website.

FWIW, since we lowered the price on the Leica CRF-2800.com to only $749.00 it has been flying out the door. Great quality, full featured and at this price a great deal.
Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.COM
Leica’s first Bluetooth compact Rangefinder


Make sure your shot is on target by connecting Leica’s latest rangefinder with integrated ballistic solution to your smartphone or Kestrel 5700 Elite weather meter.

The revolutionary new Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.COM is the first dedicated compact laser rangefinder capable of precise distance measurements up to 2,800 yards/2,600 meters and benefits from easy smartphone programming via Bluetooth and the new Leica Hunting App. This means Leica ABC® Ballistics can be customized directly through a smartphone as well as a Kestrel Elite weather meter.

The Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.COM offers hunters and long-range shooters three ballistic outputs in addition to the measured distance. Depending on the ballistic data required, when using Leica’s ballistic program, the CRF2800.COM provides either hold over value in inches, centimeters or comeups in MOA or MILs to 1,000 yards, or equivalent horizontal range (EHR) to 1,200 yards/1,100 meters. When connected with the Kestrel 5700 Elite with Applied Ballistics, the CRF2800.COM will display both elevation and windage corrections as far as the range finder can read.

Data is shown on the integrated LED display, which automatically adjusts to ambient lighting conditions. The scan mode measures environmental conditions and target distance every 0.3 seconds. Between 10 and 200 yards, the CRF2800.COM displays distance to the tenth of a yard, an especially useful feature for archers. Thanks to its compact size and weight, it can easily be carried in a shirt pocket.

With the CRF 2800.COM, Leica offers a product with a complete new operation concept, the Leica Hunting App, which raises the ease of use to a new level.

The Leica Hunting App will be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store from January 22nd, and the minimum smartphone Operating System requirements are iOS Version 9 and Android Version 6.

The menu of the CRF has been extended to include a Bluetooth menu (BT) with new settings:
• APP (Connection to a smartphone)
• LAT (Latitude, Connection to a Kestrel Elite Wind meter)
• OFF (Bluetooth off)

Combining the best ranging capability, Applied Ballistics through a Kestrel wind meter, ease of use, Bluetooth technology and compact design, no other compact range finding solution comes close.
