Nice! I think the only thing that I'm really not impressed with is the lack of G7 support for BC. The unit uses G1 BC, and you have to manually configure it for advanced low drag rounds: under 1500fps, use BC 1 from 1501 to 2000fps, use BC 2 from 2000 to 2900fps, use BC 3 That gets a...

If anyone is interested in this long dead thread, I have chronoed a few different lots of this ammo out of a 20 inch Larue OBR rifle (7.2x51): Chrony on surplus ammo from Germany (DAG and MEN) Here is the data: AB 22, 20 Patrone, 7,62MMx51, DM111, Weichkern, LOS DAG93D0340 String 1 - 10...

Well, the unit certainly does not do G7 balistics... so there are issues there as well. It's still quite handy, especially if you can't get NOAA info into one of the ballistics programs via GPS and the internet. ...but so far this product is falling way short of expectations. I'll probably...

Fine. The issue is more a matter of the type of rounds you plan to shoot. Me, I've got 10,000 or so rounds, hand loaded, and chronoed. So for special purposes, and so not. So I want to be able to say "Today I'm taking these three batches of round to the range an see how hitting paper at...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste PS: Here's a thread from another fellow... My Experience with the Bushnell Fusion ARC 1600 - Sniper's Hide Forums

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste Here's my thought... I'll go pick a set up and try to hit this tower that is 2400 yards from the road near-by according to Google Earth. Then I'll return them. If they work, then it's a good deal, if...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste I've read several reviews where the FUSION is getting out to 2000+ yards. 2200 in some cases... Snipers Hides, general searches, etc. The 1600 Elite ARC Mono I have is making it to about 1800 yards. It...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste I would suspect that they preform much better than either of the monoculars, and possibly as well as the binoculars of Leica or Swarovski. HOWEVER, while the Fusion binocular should crush the monocular...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste The thing that I have an issue with the Swarovski is that I'm aiming at targets that are ~2000 yards away, and the aiming reticle clearly is NOT close any of the nearer targets. However, it still nails...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste You from greater Spartenburg? I've got a ton of family down there... Anyway, you bring up a good point. My issues with the Leica was that it would range tree lines out to 1200 yards (I used a TVS-5 Gen...

BTW: Just to report why the Gun Library software is import... Not only does it report to allow you add more than 5 guns (50), but it allows you to pre-program for: Horus Specifications Gun: Active Targets A through E (1 to 5) Target Range (TR) 25 to 4000 yards 23 to 3658 meters Wind...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste Just to add to this... this is what I've played with so far: 1) The Bushnell Fusion ARC Binocs (huge, heavy, and range great, optics sorta suck) 2) The Bushnell Elite ARC 1600 (same size as the Swaroski...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste I can say I was bothered when I called them up and they said there was nothing wrong with their units, but suggested that I see if the store will let me take a bunch of them outside and range distant targets...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste After I posted the last message I had a little light bulb go off... and I opted to send the Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide back. Frankly, while it's been on the top of the list of the longest time, I feel that...

Re: Rangefinder Field Test: Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide Vs. Leica CRF 1600 Rangemaste Ok, Here are my experiences.... About two months ago I picked up the Leica CRF 1600 because it really seemed to have the neatest of features. I used it for about two weeks and noticed that it would...
