[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 545149, member: 21068"] [B]mtngun[/B], The small window through the branches; were you getting the branches instead of the rooftop that was out further? Also, how big do you suppose the window was? Was it smaller than the aiming reticle or larger? What kind of reticle does it use? From the time you push the button, how long would you say it takes to give a reading (lets say at 600 yds or so)? [B]Len[/B], same question, relating to speed. You mentioned it's faster than the Swarovski, but I haven't used a swarovski. Only thing I can compare to is the Leicas or the old Bushnell 800.? The Leica 1600 gives a range or --- (if unable to range) within about 1/2 second, but it takes an additional 2 1/2 seconds or so before the reticle will show up again for a repeat try. Scan mode gives readings quicker, but it still takes about 4 seconds to get the unit into scan mode. So basically, I am approx 4 seconds from one reading to a second reading no matter if I use scan or individual button strokes. The Leica 1200 recovered much quicker, but it didn't have the ballistic features or angle temp and pressure. I never trust just one reading, I always try to get 2 or 3 to confirm. Is the ballistic programing in these a "pre-selected" curve type of thing, or do you actually input the BC and MV of your particular load.? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
