[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1522961, member: 80699"] hrnhntr, I don't have the binos, but have a fair bit of experience with Leica's ballistic system as I have used it on the CRF 2700b. For sure, it needs updating, but it is definitely sufficient to 700 yards if you use the custom curve ability on the 3000. Depending on what bullet you use, you may be within .1 MOA (Vs your Kestrel) all the way to 1k, or you may need to 'tweak' the curve a bit to make that happen. But in every case, I have been able to make it match to within .1 MOA, as long as coriolis and aero jump are discounted. So out to 700 you should be good. Keep in mind, all this assumes you are using the custom curve. If you use one of the preset curves, all bets are off. My experience with the 1600b was that the nearest curve was good to about 650, and after that, the wheels fell off, but YMMV depending on how closely your trajectory matches to one of the presets. Either way, if you get the 3000, use the custom curve ability and you should be good. HTH! [/QUOTE]
