Leica 1600

[jeff 300]

I just got a new leica 1600 and this week at the ranch i could only get 800 out of it on a side of a mountain only 600 on mule deer. Not to happy with it for 1600 it should be a lot better than this. i tried hills that i know where only around a 1000-1200 and never got a reading
what do y'all think i got a bad one

I have only tried mine a little ,but ranged a tree at 1540 yards, hillside at 1,100 yards, easily hit rocks at way past 1000 yards, sounds like your's has a issue. Are you sure the battery is good?

I have about 4 friends that got bad ones last and early this year. One is on #3, BUT THAT ONE IS WORKING like a champ, my 1200 cant keep up with it, when I am having trouble in mountains at 1000, five tries. He is banging hand held out to 14-1500. Send it back.

I have a 1200 leica and it doen't work for crap and thats being nice.
I just got a bushnell Elite 1600 this week and i ranged a building at 1775 yards. for $450.00 i will take that all day.

+1, send it back. Mine has no trouble with trees over 1000. It is amazing to me that these high end optics manufacturers have this much trouble making a consistent lrf. It seems to be hit or miss with leica, swaro, etc on getting a good one.

Ya my buddy has the Bushnell Elite 1500 and has no trouble with it ranging
out past 1000 yd.

sp6x6 did they get them from Dennis at army navy? I bought one from him but he said I got one of the good ones. Do you shoot with that clan of 1000 yard shooters? Seems like a few Leica's in the first batch had some issues.
