Lamar, the Leica CRF 900 is only $429.99!!  In that price range you won't find better.  They are fantastic!

You're thinking of a different camera store in New York.  I know what you're talking about but can't think of the name.  Doug at Cameraland is a sponser on many hunting websites and is absolutely first rate to deal with.  I can give you the link to literally thousands of satisfied users, myself and others on this website included.

wow i didn't realize that they were only 30 bucks more. i think i will go ahead and get it.

[BlackTail]

You'll be glad you did!!

[lamar_hunter]

yeah i hope so 430 bucks is a big chunk of change. at least for me anyways haha

It's one thing to carefully relate an experience with a dealer, either positive or negative. provided you are relating your experience.  Blacktail has it right in that Cameraland NY is a top notch place.  I imagine Doug has his share of ulcers due to some of the NY rip off joints.  But Cameraland NY is one place of two or three I deal with online that I trust.  I also have this feeling that a lot of people who buy online are going to be just as impossible to please, or to deal with generally, as they would be if the went to the store and actually did their shopping.

I've bought three binoculars and one spotting scope from Camerland and never had a problem.

Great company to deal with.

Leica was the best decision I have made in the last several years for gear.  I have the 800 - several years old.  And it sitll works like a champ and consistently gets me ranges past 800.

I bought a Nikon 550 for 200, 2 months later sold it for 150, put the money toward a Lieca. Smartest move I made in years. The Nikon would not read at all in dim, non reflective light.

I have the bushnell elite 1500 and they are great Ive shoot 1000yds with them.  I use them for both golf and hunting.  I love them

Sorry to get everyone rattled on Cameraland like i said "I have not dealt with them myself" which should be an indicator that I am going soley by hearsay.  I mearly wanted to just bring caution to a fellow hunter who was about to make a considerably large purchase and online especially.  I apparently had the wrong company but I didn't tell anyone not to shop there was just saying to be cautious before you make a large purchase like that from an online dealer.

Leica is darn good, that would be my recommendation.  One of my buddies got a Bushnell Elite and he claims the quality is pushing Leica's.     I tend to trust his judgement on most things.  No first hand experience w/ Nikon but I've heard both good and bad regarding the their stuff.
