NEW Leica CRF MAX with Customizable HUD via Leica App

Almost, we have a few samples out to writers. Thank you.

Just purchased one! I run a rangefinder pouch with a magnet closure. Is it ok to use this with the new rangefinder or should I find one without? I’ve heard a magnet will mess with the compass and ballistic hardware

Well guess I'm returning my Kilo 6 and upgrading

Storing the unit in my bino harness while hunting and 25% of the time it became non responsive where a button push wouldn’t Que the screen to come on, in fact it like “locked out” where no matter what buttons were pushed the screen wouldn’t come on. Had to remove the battery compartment cap and re screw it in to get it to work. It’s up to date on firmware and Bluetooth update. I’ve replaced the battery 2x on this hunt and it does it with fresh ones as well

Hunting with two profiles (partners 30-06, and my 300PRC) somehow the unit switched profiles or defaulted to something else in the battery compartment open close solution to the non responsive screen because I missed a deer when it gave me the either other profile or some default shot inputs (the Leica AB+ binos have some .308 175 smk default). Real crap that it doesn’t show which profile is being used on the screen in the LRF.

I only figured it out because I ranged a bush 10yards away and then double tapped the second button and saw the terminal velocity was 2640 fps or something when it should have been ~3000. (I verified before stepping off the profile was my 300PRC the morning of the miss because I would range something 10-15 yards away and look at the velocity as this is the only way to verify without hooking up blue tooth and checking on your phone.) It gave me over 3.0 mills of elevation and it should have been 2.3. I hooked my phone backup and it showed the correct profile as “active” ranged the same bush and saw 3005fps terminal velocity. wtf ranged the exact spot the deer was again and it showed 2.3 mills at the same yardage

The sinking feeling of an equipment issue driving a miss on an Idaho mule deer made me want to throw this thing down the mountain.

This has the potential to be great with the screen adaptability but major issues lead to frustration on the mountain and loss of trust when I really need something to work. If this was a sheep hunt or moose I’d be devastated.
