[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 473596, member: 21068"] Well, only done some tests from the house so far, but it looks like the new replacement is doing what it's supposed to at the moment. Maybe tomorrow I'll go out with the pickup and a sandbag and see what it'll do on prarie dogs/antelope/deer/cows/horses, ect. Every thing I've done with it so far was standing and freehand, no dead steady rest. I was able to range cottonwood trees out to around 1300 yds, sagebrush patches at 1000-1100 yds, a sandstone cutbank at 1700 something, and slopes on hillside at 1500+. I am fairly confident it will range animals out to around 1000 yds without a problem, but need more testing to confirm. It doesn't recover as fast as the old 1200, but neither did the other one I tested. The optics seem quite a bit better than the old LRF 1200. The button is easier to push, the unit is smaller and easier to hold steady freehand. It's got an angle feature, if you push another button; it will tell you the angle to the target (positive number for upslope angles and negative number for downslope angles). It's also got a ballistic calculator of sorts, but it's only designed to give a ballistic correction out to 500 yds or so. It will tell you how high or low to hold based on the distance and a sight in (100 or 200 are the only options here) There's 12 ballistic curves to pick from. It seems the correction is in MOA however, and not inches as the instructions say. I only messed with curve 1 and 2 and used a 200 yd sight in. I don't expect to find this feature very useful since it only goes to 500 and the sight in options are very limited. Along with the angle feature, it gives temp and pressure. The pressure is in PSI however, and we'd have to multiply this by 2.036 to get station pressure in [U]Inches of Mercury[/U]. I'll let you know how it does with some more testing on small targets. Real happy that the replacement is working and turn around time was minimal. [/QUOTE]
