[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1377918, member: 74902"] I use a 1600B. Have my likes and dislikes with it. So will try to answer your questions. Yes it does. But unfortunately it is not accurate enough to even consider using for a shooting solution. You cannot input a specific load as a profile. This is why it is a not accurate enough for the solution above. The rangefinder has maybe 12 specific pre-programed ballistic profiles that are for generic cartridge loads and you will not find one that is close enough to your custom load to be accurate for a long range solution. No, I have not found one that works well enough. The other problem is it that it is hard to reprogram for another cartridge, if you shoot different rifles you will have to reset it which is not practical. The rangefinder would have no problem accurately ranging to 700 yards though. It has surprisingly good glass for a rangefinder. Probably some of the best out there. It has a small beam divergence with a small bright reticle and can range accurately. the main problem is that to have the range finder give you a incline modified "shoot to range" you have to enable a specific rifle profile. That profile will not be close enough to your rifle to use the "shoot to range" or Angle Modified Range, or whatever you want to call it as a solution. It is the rangefinders biggest weakness. It works great if you use the range, temp, pressure, and angle info, it gives you and enter it into a ballistics app on your phone. If you do not care for the excellent glass that the 1600B has you would be better off with a Kilo2200. It calculates a "shoot to range" or "Angle Modified Range" correctly for shooting up or down steep inclines. With the 1600B you will need to enter the angle the 1600B provides and enter it in the app for a solution. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
