[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 542218, member: 9253"] I don't know if the CRF 1600 compensates for inclination angle or not, but there is no mention of that capability in the user manual. [url=http://leica.imvoi.com/rangefinder/rangemaster-crf-1600.html]Leica Rangemaster CRF 1600 Manual[/url] I'm not impressed by Leica's idea of ballistic computation either. From the manual they only offer 12 preset trajectories (none user setable) with zeros of 100 or 200 yards (or meters) and a maximum range for the tables of 300 yards (or meters) . What good is that with a rangefinder capable of 1600 yards? None of the 12 trajectories are even close that of my long range or subsonic rifles. I had considered buying a CRF1600 until I read the manual.
