Leica has been a pioneer and standard-setter in the field of rangefinding for eighteen years. For us, that is reason enough to consistently work on developing our products. And reason enough to keep setting the standard ever higher.
We are delighted to introduce our newest innovation: the Rangemaster CRF 1600. When preparing for a long-distance shot or in poor weather conditions, it is all too easy to miscalculate range. To take a precise and clean shot, you need to have an exact measurement of the distance to your target. You can trust the new Rangemaster CRF 1600 to deliver the performance you need. With its large 115 m field of vision and 7x magnification, it takes just 0.3 seconds to display the precise distance to any target from 10 m to approximately 1500 m (1600 yards) away.
For even greater confidence, the Rangemaster CRF 1600 offers an integrated ballistics computer with a choice of ballistic curves. In making its calculation, the system automatically adjusts for barometric pressure and temperature. You simply choose the appropriate ballistic curve and the Rangemaster CRF 1600 shows you the precise terminal point.
Unique within the premium rangefinder segment, the Rangemaster CRF is held vertically. This means it is equally easy to use for both left-handers and right-handers. Weighing just 230 g, it is extremely light and, thanks to its compact design, it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Even when you're wearing gloves, it is easy to hold and carry. You'll feel the difference.
How the ballistic programme of the CRF 1600 works:
CRF 1600 - presetting
1. The rifle user selects yards or metres.
2. The rifle user selects one of 12 ballistic curves (refer to ammunition manufacturer's tables).
3. The rifle user enters the predetermined zeroed range.
USING THE CRF 1600
4. The rifle user aims and presses the measuring button.
5. The unit measures the shot distance, angle of departure, temperature and barometric pressure.
6. The unit calculates and displays the holdover correction for 100 metres.
FAST RETICLE ADJUSTMENT (FRA)
7. The rifle user transfers the value displayed to the riflescope.
8. The rifle is now zeroed at the measured distance. The ballistic programme performs the conversion for the rifle user: What correction for 100 metres corresponds to a zeroed shot at the measured distance?
FAQs
Question: My unit shows a holdover correction of 12 centimetres at 300 metres. According to my ammunition manufacturer, this should be 36 centimetres.
Answer: The construction of the click adjustment of the riflescope is designed to adjust the point of impact by 1 centimetre per click. 12 centimetres at 100 metres is the same as 36 centimetres at 300 metres. As you can see, the unit has already performed the conversion.
Question: Why do I have to enter the determined zeroing range for my rifle when using the CRF 1600?
Answer: The ballistic programme needs this value to calculate precise results. The ballistic curve shifts at different zeroing distances, for example 100 metres or MRD. If a rifle is zeroed in at 200 metres, the correction is correspondingly smaller for a distance of 300 metres. If the rifle were zeroed at 300 metres, no correction would have to be applied.
