I was going to buy aone when the first came out but I read a few reviews from folks that bought it and they all said the leupolds range finder was a POS.

To those that have handled the LRF and CRF,

Is the CRF too light to easily stabilize on a distant target?
Price aside, if weight/size wasn't a major concern would one be better off getting the LRF?

Thanks,
Sam

I'm none too steady, and have no problem ranging to over 1k yards with the CRF. I even tried shaking it on purpose, and there was little difference. Thing must have a hell of a laser on it.

Great piece of equipment. I can say (and have heard) nothing but good about it. The new leupold RF's on the other hand, I've heard almost unanimously bad reports about.

I don't have a wide range of experience with RF's, only having a POS Bushnell before, but can say without a doubt you couldn't possibly be disappointed with the Leica. It just flat works, and works well.

Thanks Dave,
Good report.
Sounds like the CRF is the way to go.
I really need to get one this summer.

I have one. Don't have the time right now to describe it. I'll answer anything anyone wans to know. I have an RX-IV and have used it a lot.

I love it. Couldn't have wished for anything more.

I have an RX-III... No complaints. works well, and seems a good buy for me. Waterproof, and has the uphill, downhill angle feature, which works remarkably well. I would buy it again...

I got the Leica CRF 1200 a few months ago. All I can say is I'm extremely pleased with it. I was first looking at the Leupold's because I'm a big fan of their scopes. But after some research and statements from others on the web, I'm glad I went with Leica. Very good info. on the major rangefinders in my previous post including Leupold and Leica.

I got a new CRF 1200, have had a bunch of the other ones, not the Leupy though. I may leave my binos home this spring for turkey hunting, the Leica is that good.
