I have a Leica 1200 and a Swarovski Laser Guide. The later has way better optics but is a tad bit slower to read distances. Both are great RF's that I would reccomend.

I'm happy with my Leica CRF 1200.

Anyone can make a cheap scope or cheap rangefinder, but think of what a rangefinder actually does. Only Leica is a world leader in land surveying and measuring equipment.

NIKON!

I have to disagree. I love the Nikon 440 Pro staff laser range finder quite alot. Price wise, it's just under $200.00 and is waterproof, shockproof, lightweight, and small in size compared to some of the others!!Besides, who REALLY needs to range over 400+ yards anyway, unless your antelope or praire dog hunting. A 200 yard shot is a long way off!!! For deer hunting (bow and gun)and turkey hunting (to get different ranges before the bird comes in), you can't beat it.

If you truly want the best get the Leica BRF Rangefinding Binoculars... They offer the best of both in a single package allowing the hunter one less piece of gear and clutter. I am very, very happy with mine and so too were the guides on all my hunts.

Leica is the only way to go. I bought the LRF 1200 about 2 years ago for elk hunting, because we would see the elk across the mountain, and wanted to now how far the shot was. Very typical situation in West TX deer hunting. It works fantastic, highly recommended.

I'm looking for a 440.......Wanna sell it????

bushnell scout...250 bucks and great quality. i simply love mine for gun and bow hunting.

I have a Nikon 600 that is great. I bought it used on ebay and does all I "need". If money were not an object, I would buy the Leica. Next the Nikon Monarch. Then what I ended up with.

I was really thinking I would buy a Leupold, but after I looked at them I liked the Nikon much better. Simpler and easier to read. I just felt the bells and whistles on the Leupold were distracting and didn't add anything for me. I just want to point it and push a button, not worry about what setting it is on, etc.
