What is your recommendation about good & reasonable priced Rangefinder up to 1200-1600 metres? It must be accurate (needs pretty small object) durable & handy, easy to carry.

+1 I love mine. You can sometimes even find them in the $700-800 range in the classifieds here.

Yes, Leica is fine one, But Geovid is quite expensive...
I´ll check out Bushnell, Leupold & Swaro... What about Zeiss?

If you can afford a Vector - it's next to impossible to beat. For those of us unable to meet its price - Bushnell Fusion 1600 ARC does the job.
I have been using the zeiss for a few years now. I've been quite happy with it. It's a little bigger than the Leica and under field conditions it usually limits out around 1475 yards on bushes, trees, ect... It may do better on buildings and other hard flat objects but I don't have any of those around to try it out on.
Either the Swarovski, or the Bushnell Fusion. Anything else in that price range is a step down in performance with what it will range in real world conditions. I had the leica's and they won't hang. The Vectronix are a huge step up in performance but the cost goes over 3 times what the others are.
the swaro will range farther however its laser is not as "tight"
in good conditions I can get 1999 yds easily (swaro).... big objects
also the circle is a lot bigger (swaro) and I have ranged stuff a bit further or shorter than it actually was ... we are talking 1200 yds and up
we were shooting last week on an IPSC style target at 1400 yds and I was getting ranges in front and behind it...leica wouldn't bounce off it....
however the leica was getting good bounces at a 1000 on a similar target a lot more repeatable than the swaro
the swaro has way better field of view and the 8x lens is
awsome
almost use it as a monocular

Jimmy76,
By the time you buy a range finder and binos you have spent a great amount of coins. Combining the 2 means you don't have to carry 2 different pieces of equipment. If you can't afford the Geovids definitely go with the fusions. I nave used Quickdraw's they are spot on for ranging.

Overcast day on semi-dense trees I've been able to hit 12-1300 as well with mine. Sunny days, not so much.
