I've used my Leica Geovid BRF 10-42's for the last 4-5 years now......awesome glass with a very reliable and accurate rangefinder built in. Best of both worlds.

Anybody using the new Leupold RX-1000 RF? They redesigned it to eliminate a lot of the admittedly confusing features on their RX-II model and it looks pretty interesting. Uses red LED instead of LCD imaging. Smaller and lighter too.. a big plus for a gram geek like myself. Just looking for some actual field data. Thanks.

I don't own one, but have had the chance to use one a lot recently. I am very impressed wtih the read out and how quickly it acquires the target. If I went with a "stand alone" rangefinder, that is the one I would go with. Not that I need a lot of true ballistic compensation, as I don't do much shooting at extreme angles, but it has that also. Very light, very compact, and when I used it, was very impressed.
Good info. I had the chance to play around with a Nikon Archers Choice and although I didn't fall in love with it, I did like the angle compensation feature. The primary use for the new RF will be bowhunting. I hunt treestands somewhat but mostly find myself spot & stalking steepish canyons and arroyos here in AZ. Every optics outfit has their own term... ARC, TBR and so on. Anybody have experience with any of these angle compensator rigs?
I always use my range finder just trying to figure out where I need to be before the shot, getting my stalk on, not just at the shot.
