Thanks for both suggestions, those two brands are basically what I am eyeing at the moment. I am leaning more towards Leupold as I have Leupold scopes and have never had a problem, but on the other hand I know someone with a Leica rangefinder that swears by that brand.
When it comes to rangefinders, Leica,Zeiss, and Swarovski have far better reputations than Leupold.
Good to know thanks, is this in regards to accuracy or reliability, or both?
Value, and quality of results.
It was put to me this way. Best, no holds barred, Swarovski. Leica, 95+ percent as good, for half the money = best value for the dollar.
I bought one of the older Leica units off he EE. 9 Volt batteries are available at pretty much any gas station... No bells, no whistles, no angles, just push the button, read the distance.
Been really happy with it!
Cheers

I have brand new Geovid HD 8x42 units on clearance at $1,899 or 10x42's for $2,299 (taxes in).
The Leica CRF 1600 (now discontinued) & 1600B have been far and away my best selling rangefinders.
I have brand new CRF 1600-B units on promo for $779 (tax included).
The new CRF Rangemaster 1000-R is a more affordable choice at $599, however supply is limited.
If you are also in the market for quality binos, then the Leica Geovid HD is your best overall value: I have brand new Geovid HD 8x42 units on clearance at $1,899 or 10x42's for $2,299 (taxes in).
