I had a Bushnell Yardage Pro and it was a very good product. If I hadn't stumbled across the Leica I'd still be using one. I don't think excellent glass matters as much with a rangefinder if your hunting with bino's as well.

These are the two to consider:
Leica 1200 CRF
Bushnell elite 1500

I like the "uphill / downhill correction" feature of the Bushnell Arc series. Leupold has this too I think, but don't know if either one is really right. The concept certainly makes sense.

I finally got the Leica 1200 CRF, my wife got it for me for my B-Day and gave it to me early for Elk season. It works really well except yesterday I did have some problems ranging some Elk. I got a yardage of 500 yards or so, which would have worked out fine if the season had been open. But I was just out scouting, the thing is the Elk were on a open hillside which had a light tan color and the Elk were very dark. It was just starting to get dark, still had maybe an hour of daylight...Anyway after the first reading it would NOT give me another and I really do not know what to think about that.. Clarity on it is great, its like carrying a little 7x bino with you...I will be using it more this year..... |

Hmmmm...
That unit should be giving you pretty reliable readings at that distance on elk ... especially at low light. Laser rangefinders work best in low light. Make sure you are getting a good supported position when firing a range. If you are still having trouble getting 500-600 yard ranges, you may need to have your unit checked.
Good luck and good hunting!
