So what is everyone's longest range they have gotten out of their laser rangefinder. I have listed several popular models.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
My furthest hit was 2.2km out of a Swaro. I was ranging a reflective oil/gas pipeline sign.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
2200 yards Zeiss LRF Binos, yeah I know, not exactly what you asked. But that day, it was over twice what the Leica could do. And lots easier to use.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
Ranged a group of trees with the Zeiss at 1620 metres.
Conditions were bright, sunny, 33c, wind 15-20 mph heavy mirage.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
I ranged a aluminum sided building at just over 1800 yds with my Swaro. And my Leica 1200 has hit several 1300 yd targets when asked to. Both are very good tools.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
The poll won't tell us much about the range finders themselves, as it depends on the size of the target. I ranged a building at 1380yards with a CRF 1200 and a hill at 6800m with a Vector IV. So what?

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
I have the Swarovski.
Black Cow 994 yds
3 Bull Elk standing close 1100 yards
15" reflective Balloon 1204 yds
4'X6' large cardboard target 1784 yds
Large clump of aspen trees 1996 yards
If it is less than 1300 yards it does great.
From 1300 to 1500 not bad but I have to be real steady.
From 1500 to 2000 it has to be a Big target or a real reflective target.
I am glad to see the Zeiss is doing so good, I have been looking hard at the Zeiss 10X45RF.

What specific information are you hoping to derive from your polls?

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
I'm looking strictly for maximum range ever on the LRF. If you provide more data in the reply to the posts, thats great.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
Well I just got my Swarovski 1500. I took it out immediately and hit a barn that is non reflective osb at 1624 yards. 1026 yards on an approximately 2'x 2' realtor sign.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
Sure, I have the Zeiss Victory LRF and have ranged in excess of 1400 yds for large structures/features. But I'm with the "so what" crowd.
I have no complaints with it from a ranging perspective but does it do everything that I want? No, I'd still rather have a really good pair of 8x or 10x binos that, oh by the way, can range as well. I'm just too cheap to pull the trigger on Geovids or Victory binos (or maybe the Bushnell is good enough). Too many rifles or scopes to buy... $.02

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
I got 1551 yards out of a Bushnell 1500 Elite, which isn't on the list.

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
1850yds with the fusions, on an oak tree. It does have a tough time with smaller objects in front of bigger ones at over 650yds. When I say smaller I mean a 6 or 8" plate 25 yds in front of a big ass hill. Is this unrealistic to ask it to range?

Re: Laser Rangefinder Distance Poll
There's only one problem that no one seems to realize. You can range all you want, but what if the range is incorrect? Have any of you confirmed the ranges by using a GPS or some other method of exactly measuring the distance?
Before you flame me, I have a Zeiss LRF and just because it gives me a range, doesn't mean I don't try to doublecheck it.
