I've repeatedly ranged rocks and hillsides out here to 800 yds or so, far longer than I would shoot at a live animal.
The Leica 900 is a fantastic product. I got mine as a Christmas gift, and it was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten.

I saw that on the HIde. And it is probably a good deal. However I would like to purchase a new one. So I will wait patiently. I do not need one until ground hog season. I sold my old Nikon last week on another site, and I have my money saved up to get one. Thanks, Tom.

The 900 might be the ones we buy but I was curious about the waranty on the demo 1200s. Your prices are very good when compared. My hat is off to you. My biggest problem is that I think the manufacturers are over pricing these and many other optic products. These units are about the same price as the
laptop, I'm typing this on.

This afternoon I was down at one of the local distributers.
Up here in Canada where everything costs more. I was told that the 900 Leica was going to be discontinued. I was also given a price on a 1200 which was just a bit better than the best US online price I could find, considering exchange rates, without any shipping costs.
If I bought 2 or more the price was a bit better. I am not sure what is happening on the manufacturer level, but I am surprised that I can buy them cheaper here than online out of the US.

With the new 1600's coming out are they phasing out the 900's?

The 1200's I had work past 1200 yards if I could hold still. Will the 1600's need a tripod?

These 900's are already phased out. I think the 1200's will be phased out next

Just got mine today - really a bust - I didn't get a hat like they sent with my spotting scope a year or so ago (nice Cameraland sticker, though)!
Seriously, the rangefinder is tremendous, easy to use, optics clear, compact size, and ranges really fast. Haven't tried at anywhere near max ranges yet, but color me pleased to say the least.
Thanks Neil, you guys are awesome.

Arrived 10 minutes ago. Stuck a battery in and lasered a cow (407 yards). Barn across the county road is 720.
Very cool.

Alright! After several calls to get my credit card to work last week, got my CRF900 today, fired right up. Thanks for the hat and coffee! Will try them all out on my next day off. Just in time for my birthday!
Thanks!
