[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1061140, member: 33822"] I have the Leica 1600b and it's great at consistently ranging out to about 1500 yards in the mountains. But the 1600b does not do angle-only range compensation. I've been through this in another thread and it is a common mistake that pretty much everybody makes. I'm not going to get into it in full detail, but read the directions. Very simply the 1600b provides angle-temperature-pressure compensation and there is no way around that. For everybody that uses it thinking they are getting angle-only, take a 2nd look at the directions and do some quick tests outside ranging and doing some basic math. The only way you get angle-only out of a 1600b is if the measurement is taken at 68 degrees F and 29.92 inHg. which is what the pre-set ballistic curves are set to. any deviation from the default temp and pressure and the 1600b also accounts for those differences in the EHr calculation.
