Which Range Finder to get ???

[coachcw]

I carry the leica 10-42 range finding binos , they are good for rifle hunting but if your a rh archer they have the range button on the wrong side . I havn't had any issues with them not ranging well however and the optics are good.

Need to pick me up a new range finder and have been eyeballing the Leupold RX-750 TBR but wanted to check myself before I pulled the trigger.
Anyone like this unit or not ?

I Have the RX-1000 TBR Very nice unit very easy to use .  Night and day compared to my older Bushnell Scout. I would buy it again no complaints. My

I bought a Bushnell 1500 with Arch a few years ago in camo.  Has performed very well when I have used it.  Very pleased with the unit.  Not the cheapest, but then again, not the most expensive.

Great Thread! I was just wondering the same. I was walking all through Cabelas in search of a RF and searching for reviews. I dont want to spend the price of a Leica, and was really looking through the Nikons, Bushnells, Wild Game Innovations and Leupolds. Even the one you are asking about. After holding all of them I have to say the LED reticles are THE best on the Leupolds. The guy said they dont hold the distances promised. Although the reticle is clearest and brightest with adjustments. The Nikon Rifle Hunter 1000 was fantastic. Except for the red reticle. It turns the whole thing glow red. The guy also said that the Nikon is WATERPROOF as apposed to RESISTANT, fog proof and shock resistant. It is larger in hand than the Leupold. I have used a Leica, and it is a VERY sweet RF with great reticle, its just the fact that I am a hunter in washington. Wet side and East side. Based on all this, I am going to still look into the leupold and nikon with a little lean to the Nikon. And maybe if I can find a cheap Leica some where  I would get that   keep me posted on what you get and why!

Just ordered up a Nikon Monarch 1200    A buddy came over today with one and it was pretty sweet! Plus it has great reviews.

leica bad 2 the bone the extra moneys worth it in the long run trust me

  I got the Nikon Rifle Hunter. The final factor for me (wife actually said it was okay to spend more than I budgeted) was the waterproof. Works great, I've used it twice in WY for lopes. Above & beyond happy.

Owned Leica, Swarovski, and Zeiss.   Zeiss RF 10x45 is the best rangefinder I have ever owned/used.   Smallest beam divergence, most responsive, quickest display, and.......ranges in rain, snow, and fog.   Handheld ranges in excess of 1700 yards.   

***Have not used new CRF 1600 in the field***

I have a Leica CRF 1000 it will not range in fog, haven't tried it in rain but it's useless in fog. The newer ones may be the catzazz but have no experience with them. I also have a Nikon Monarch Gold 1200, it is simply not the same ranging quality as the Lieca, it will not pickup a coyote at 800 or 1000 yards like the Lieca will. The Nikon does have a fog setting on it so it may work better in fog and rain but it still will not range a smaller furry critter as well as the Lieca, otherwise the Lieca has been great.

Spend the money once and buy the Leica, you'll never regret it.

Received my Vectronix PLRF5 on Friday and I must say, that its pretty impressive.  Was ranging cell towers out to 2800yds and cows out to 2100yds pretty easily.  Seems to be more consistent than my Swaro or the Leica.  Wish it was more than 5x, but happy with it so far.

I bought the Leupold RX750 a while back & it does everything it should with zero issues.

Leupold RXB-IX...
Why carry binos and a rangefinder?
Crystal clear optics, waterproof, rangefinder out to 1500 yards +/- 3 yards, ballistics ranging, line of sight ranging, tri-pod attachment, lifetime warranty, etc...Its the best peice of hunting gear I have ever purchased!
