I've had Nikon, Leica and Leupold, below is my experience with each:

1. The Nikon Archers Choice was fine unless there was any rain or slight amount of fog, by far the most sensitive to adverse conditions.

2. The Leica CRF1000 was the best I owned, it unfortunately got stolen when a slime bucket robbed my house and took my backpack. :(

3. I now own the Leupold RX1000, it works great, it's not as bright as my Leica but a couple hundred bucks cheaper.

What are the farthest yards are you regularly experiencing in the field with that Leupold coonhound?

I had no problem ranging out to 500 - 600 yds and often more.

The Leica 1600 would have been my choice but I hung up my rifles and strictly bow hunting now. Figured I don't need 1600 yards and a $800 rangefinder
