    I dont think they have yet. One thing you need to notice is the difference between reflective and non-reflective yardages. That leupold rf has a 1500 yard reflective rating.....then the non-reflective rating is less then half that. A deer or any type of animal are considered "non" reflective. So in reality that leupold rf should not pick up an animal over I would say around 500-600 yards. Like most people recommended the Leica CRF 1200 is a great rf....its hard to keep these rf's in stock...we are always having issues getting them into our store, mostly due to their popularity. It is a sweet RF...they also have a 900 model Like Doug, was saying about the swaro rf, it does have a big circle so it is hard picking up objects at a distance. Another thing is it has a dim read out which in a lot of sunlight it is hard to read at times. Another thing is it is slower on giving you readings. Out of all the rf's it has the best optics to me. Another rf I would recommend is the Nikon 800 or 1200 I think they are really good for the money. I have found that these two have the best capability of picking up objects at longer distances. They have a really sensitive laser. In SW we have some chains hanging down from the rafters, out of all the rf's these two nikons can pick up the chain. I have not been able to w/any other rf out of a countless # of attempts. One downfall is that sometimes it can be too sensitive, and if you are archery/rifle hunting in thick country, you could be trying to range an animal and get a false reading because you got a reading of a twig that is 10-15 yards behind the animal. IMO, buy the Leica or the Nikon

    Swarovski Spotter For Sale

    I got a little blood left but I have to make good on my deal with the wife now. dang, that hurt when she stuck me with that needle. I thought she was kidding. I got a chance to look thru my 15x56's today at the archery range and still couldn't find my arrow after missing the target. I hope Casey isn't right about the swaroski name. TJ just wait till get you get them out in the field...and start looking for some critters. If you were holding them free hand then you did not give them a fair chance...its impossible for me to hold them still ...plus the older folks are a little shakier

    Swaroviski 15x56 and minox 15x58 BR

    "I personally think swaro leica is a ford chevy arguement." If you want to start that argument, you are leaving out Toyota and Nissan

    Dont waste your money with the duovids. There is a reason why Swarovski sells a lot more, they are better. I guess Bass Pro got rid of their Leica selection, the optics guy informed me of this his exact words " they do not sell enough". They are more expensive then Swarovski, but "clearly" are not as good. I love the feud between Swarovski and Leica they are both good but Swarovski still wins out. Your right, i doubt Leica sells as much as Swarovski does. Most people pay for the name when it comes to Swaros. Leica has to be doing something right since they have been around for ever ( Leitz before they were Leica) The duovids are more expensive but you get two pairs of binos in one. lets break this down : Swarovski SLC 10x50 binos =$1799. Swarovski 15x56 binos = $1999 add that up and you get $3800 ( NOT CHEAP) Then you get the Leica duovids which are 10 and 15 or 8 and 12 power all in one,that are just as good (better) than the swaros for a whopping $2645 ( all prices from bearbasin.com) now, according to my calculations that is a savings of $1200... hmmm makes sense to me but then again..... ...Genius!!!...with comments like this...no wonder why Reese keeps you around, who would have figured. Dont waste your money on them Lee-ca's, I would buy the minox's before leeca's. Warranty-wise if you send back your Leica, dont expect them to send back for another 5 months. Too many people telling me horror stories about their customer service, if you could call it that Also keep in mind the new Vortex 15's
