[QUOTE="Broz, post: 245272, member: 7503"] I had a big issue with the swarovski circle reticle last week in Kansas. I had two HUGE whitetail bucks between 900 and 1050 yards. The terrain was almost flat. The biggest buck was much smaller than the circle so when I centered him it kept picking up the ground in front 900 or the tree line behind at 1050. I was set up and ready to thump him. The bucks were feeding with does. I could not get a good reading that I felt was accurate. I even rested the rangfinder and could not get what I felt was a true reading. I passed... The next day I had them both again at 233 yards broadside. The biggest one was a very nice buck!! Maybe over 180 inches. The problem this time they were both just across the line on private ground. I waited for them to get on the public area and didn't have a shot then. I don't regret it, I did the right thing. But if I could have ranged him the night before he would have been on my wall.[IMG]http://www.weatherby.dk/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG] So I am looking for a new range finder. One with a much smaller circle or square or a crosshair. Maybe I will try another Leica as the square may be smaller than the swaro circle ?? Have you ever encountered anything like this?
