Re: anyone have the Lica 1200 LRF....

The leica 1200 is a good lrf. I had one for a while and was happy with it's performance. I had returns at 1150 to 1250(yards) without a steady rest. I would think that conditions would dictate the range any of them. I doubt you will get returns off of groundhogs at 1000 but your mileage may vary.
good luck

I have the Leica compact rangfinder 1200, and used it this past weekend to get ranges on a steel target 12-18"?? at 979 and ranges on a hill side just over 1,000 yards. It is what I purchased to use for comps this year and I have been very happy. As I understand it, the Leica has a very tight laser beam, which makes it great for smaller targets.

I hit 975 yards up to a house on a hill outside my front door. Graham is right, holding it steady is the problem. I was braced against a post on my front porch.

I have had one for alittle over a year now, and love it, the farthest reading i have got on a deer was around 1100 yrds. on a cloudy day. it seems to do better with overcast then bright sunny days.

I have a friend that has the leica and it seems to work very well. However i do have a problem with the way it and most Laser RFs are designed to be held. The slim vertical holding position on the leica and others just bothers me. I can't hold it that steady. I bought a zeis PRF which feels more like binoculars in my hands and have ranged plenty @ 1300. I was astounded by the zeiss when it picked up such small detailed objects @500+ such as medium grown trees and things that i didn't expect it to pick up. It also ranges very fast and under 1000yds you really don't have to be "dead" steady with it. The leica will serve you fine as i said it's a great range finder.

Long story short, I think they are junk. Their customer service ain't too shabby though.

The same day I got my second new replacement, I listed it for sale. No more Leica for me.

The Zeiss PRF = AWESOME!!!!


Edit: I'm referring to the CRF Rangemaster 1200 above, not the LRF....I have no experience with the LRF model.

I had the LRF 1200, I think, it was the bigger one. For ~$400 I think it was an awesome buy. Used it for a year or two and then ordered the 1600CRF. It is much better at hitting longer ranges.

Love the reticle and the incline/decline feature could be very handy. Especially hunting.

I have a Newcon LRM 1500 It in most of your opinions is junk but I've had it for about 6 months and yes on really bright days the sun washes the laser out on anything past 700 yards. On a cloudy day it will range out to 1500 with no problems I have a friend with a Zeiss and he has double checked me and come up with the same readings so doesn't do anything but range but so far so good.

I've got both the old 1200 horizontal model Leica and the new 1600 yard version. I like both, but the 1600 has an obvious edge and it's nice as it offers angle readings also. I ranged two bulls last fall with mine at 1830 yards...that impressed me.

I have the 1200 LRF. My best return has been a highway sign on a clear night at 1317yd.

In the field on targets like steel plates and rocks, 1038yd.

On fur bearing targets the best I've gotten back isn't really applicable as I haven't seen a target in excess of 597yd to try it out on.
