Got my Leica 800 today. Snowing up a storm, but it still ranged a tree line at 159 yards. Early niggles, etc. --------- I'm surprised at how difficult it is to keep the reticle still .. even with a tripod. The button is indistinct feeling - I'd of liked a "clicky" button. The optics are...

Hee hee ... well, ok then. [ QUOTE ] I checked "ground hog / woodchuck" because you didn't list Marmots (rockchucks) [/ QUOTE ]

Thanks! That just the kind of "say-so" I'm looking for. TBC [ QUOTE ] Jon @ The Optic Zone told me that it's a really nice setup. He has the same unit, with a case and tripod for $489. I'd buy it from him anyway. Even if I spent $60 more buying his...FWIW...sakofan.... [/ QUOTE ]

Hi Kyle, Thanks! It was advertised as "New - used very little - no scratches" I'll let you know! MikeTBC [ QUOTE ] BC...SWEET deal....used or new? Glad for you!!!! Kyle Let us know how it is when you get it. [/ QUOTE ]

Lenses clean? I wouldn't deny it a high quality, new 9 volt battery, either. You got good advice above ... hold the "fire" button down until you are through ranging and get a monopod or something for the shakes. TBC

Hey Josie, The main difference is the "scan" feature. It keeps you from doing the "shoot-read ... shoot-read" thing. You just hold the button down and it updates the yardage as you scan the hunting ground. The other difference is, of course, 400 yards. I just picked up a Leica 800 off eBAY...
