Any Leica Rangemaster CRF 1200 Owners/Users?

[ZipperZap]

We just picked up a new Leica Rangemaster CRF 1200, yesterday,
to use at a shoot we are having on Sunday. We’ve used a Bushnell
Trophy Laser Range Finder in the past but a few weeks ago
we tried out a friend’s Leica, and really liked it.

The major difference that we noticed, right away, was the ‘scan
mode’ that gave us a continuous reading while scanning moving
targets! Obviously, that’s the way to go for game!

Question: Has anyone owned/used the Leica 1200 for an extended
period of time - we’re wondering about the battery life - well,
projected battery life, while out in the field. We’re going to be
using it up on a ranch (east San Diego County) and there’s bound
to be some small moving targets scampering about!

... anything else that we might want to know about?

Thanks!

Zipper;

Test it on a stop sign. If it's like my buddy's, it won't range a red target. That's usually not a big deal in the game fields, but it might very well be a useful bit of information to know in a range situation.
