Last year I was in the need for a range finder also. I was interested in the Leupold RFuntil I turned them over and they had a big MADE IN CHINA label, they even had a free spotting scope offer to go along with them, but I opted not to get them. Instead I chose the Leica 1200Rf. They are a great product, the aiming point is a bright red box and it's easy to see and it's pretty darn quick to tell you the yardage.

Well a week later I decided I wanted a pair of the Swarovski's to try so I went and picked up a pair. The swaro's are also great, the clarity is the best I have seen. The aiming point is an orange circle andas previously stated is sometimes hard to see To me, it's a bit slower and a bit harder to range small distant targets.

I find the Swarovski's easier to handle but the plastic holder for them leaves a little to be desired. They come with a nice wide strapand a rubber cap to protect the eye piece. The Leicas only come with a leather pouch.

Another thing to think about is the battery life and type. The Swarovski Laser Guides use a photo type 3V lithium battery while the Leica use a standard 9V battery. I use the Swaro's alot and the battery last about 6 months.

It's really up to you, I would suggest you go and look at both of them and then decide. There's about $350 price difference between the two. It's a tough choice.

.....or ya can do like I did and just buy both of them!
