Certainly not as good as Leica..but this one worked well the one time I used it.

To use it at 1000 yards you would need some reflective.

The Bushnell Elite 1500 (with or without ARC) is a really good choice.

Just get the Leica. The Leupolds, Bushnells, etc. that are rated 1000-1500 yards never seem to want to range targets to half their rated distance. The Leicas will range farther than rated under most all conditions. When the sun is in the wrong spot, or its too bright, or too dark, or in the snow, etc. the others have constant problems. The Leicas just flat work.

Any vendors on this site sell the Leica 1200 CRF??? Calguns discount?

I have seen the Leica LRF and CRF go for as low as $350 used.

Bushnell 1000 yard Yardage pro scout $281.90 at Cheaperthandirt.com
I have found the bushnells out to 500 yards to be very accurate, repeatable, easy to see through the viewfinder. I guess this 1000 yard model will be a good.

Don't skimp on a rangefinder.
It's not the close distances where you really need it (under 600yds).
It's the far distances (800-1200) where it REALLY matters.
Also, the Leica glass is very very good.
I find myself using it like binoculars all the time.

Don't guess, test them.
I'll bring my Leica as a reference standard to see if the Bushnells are accurate or not.
Also, ask any bushnell user about the response time after they use a Leica and you will understand why people buy Leica...
