Leica Rangemaster CRF 1600-B

Jared BreinganWhat are your thoughts on this range finder. What realistic range will it range a fallow deer out to. Are there better value for money rangefinders out there that are just as capable? This will be my first rangefinder purchase and wanting to get it right the first time. |

Nathan FosterRe: Leica Rangemaster CRF 1600-BHi Jared, I prefer BRF (binos rather than monocular) units if possible, it simply helps keep kit weight down rather than carrying two units. If you want to do it right first time around, be aware that you will spend hours glassing. A flick of a button while glassing with a BRF can help aqaint you with ranges ahead of time as a part of general preparation. It also saves time just before the shot, rather than switching from glasses to the RF when an animal appears before finally switching to the scope.Leica units are true to advertised specs. Some days they may have some difficulty ranging but if a Leica can't do the business because of a particular light condition on the day- nothing will. |

Nathan FosterRe: Leica Rangemaster CRF 1600-BHi Jim, my unit is a Leica 1300 yard BRF. If I want to try my hand at shooting longer ranges, I have a friend with a 1600 yard BRF. |
