Anyone using the Zeiss Victory 8x26 T* PRF rangefinder?
Looking for some hands on experiences and opinions.

I've got one and love it. Previously owned a Leica CRF 1200, and I like the slightly larger size of the Zeiss better. Both function fine, laser further than I shoot, etc, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Zeiss.
I've actually got mine for sale currently, but only because I've decided to consolidate and go with a bino/RF combo.

They are excellent rangefinders. I could range about anything at 1000 yards with mine, hit in the high 1400's pretty easy. Also they have great glass.I have the new Leica 1600 and I'm not sure why I sold my Zeiss it held steadier for me and ranged excellent.The Leica will just reach further and is smaller.
1 and done

I think this is one case where smaller isn't better. The Zeiss is just easier to hold steady, and as range grows, that's pretty important.
