Out to about 400 yards or so. I probably wouldn't shoot that far though. My longest shot ever was 320 yards. My vortex covers that with ease. As would the luppy 1000 But if you want the best(meaning optics and furtest range)-- Leica Optics I'll give that to Leica but range? No. Vectronix has the edge on anything that is available to civilians. If you can find a Terrapin used that is the lowest cost model (since discontinued). Vectronix Blanket statement? You must of completely missed the OP's $500 question. 1300 yards and under-- lecia Nope didn't miss it. Your statement was simply (a blanket statement) that the Leica ranges the furthest, and it is not a true statement. If you had said: 'Below $500 Leica will provide the best glass and furthest ranging ability', that might be true (I wouldn't know). But you didn't, so there you are.

My post was relative to what the OP was asking... Which is what this thread was about-best 500 dollar range finder. Apparently your still missing that concept.
So You tossed out $10000plus range finder..... That helped him a lot didn't it.
That's like recommending a $65k ford raptor, when all the OP asked for was the best $1k 4x4 to get to his mail box.

Hopefully all of your 35,000 posts are not as false as the one above. I clearly responded to your other false statement. As another point of clarification: I pointed out the terrapin was the lowest priced model (since discontinued), that can be purchased on the secondary market. New the terrapin ran around 2k, mine was just over half that, but in either case far from you dramatically exaggerated price of $10,000. What I paid incidentally puts it neck and neck with a new leica 1600b which I believe had been recommended as well, but to be clear I was not recommending a Vectronix only correcting you false statement. Keep being a drama queen or clown, either seems applicable at this point.

Are the laser as good? No the Lieca falls short but that short coming is saved in price.

Reread what I posted... You are off the mark as well. Please elaborate then. You are the one throwing around the terrapin name in a sub $1k post. Nobody has stated anything that suggested to be better, just that under a grand the Lieca can't be beat.

If you can't get it from there I don't think you can be helped.

In terms the Lecia CRF 1600-B; $2-300 over the $500 budget, in the grand scheme of buy once, cry once, is not that bad. JMO, I think bringing up the options is a good idea. Now a $2000 rangefinder is out of line in a $500 thread. Where do you draw the line, I don't know.
Anyway, back to the Lecia 1600-B; someone in a review said you cannot customize the bullet ballistic drop compensation for hand loads and FPS, now that might be a deal-breaker. Can anyone confirm?

Does anyone know how the Leupold 1200 with TBR compares with the Leicas mentioned above. I am a Leupold fan but if the Leica is a lot better I would go with the Leica. I haven't used either one so would appreciate any info. Thanks again. Still in the $500 to $800 price range.

Leica is the only one that I have gotten the most first button hits (at the range listed as the model)on game at that price point. I have taken my vortex to 1300 on an f-15 but doesn't do you a lot of good on a non reflective target. Only bad thing about lecia is they aren known for as good of CS as vortex or luppy

However, I have a Leupold 1000i that I got used for $160 and it's great. If you aren't going past 400 yds, why spend all that extra money?
