[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 480449, member: 21068"] As far as Leica vs Swarovski goes, I've read and heard that the Swarovski units will range the furthest. However, they have the largest laser beam also. This means at long distances we may be ranging the brush behind or in front of the target, instead of what we're really aiming at. For long range shooting, knowing the exact range of the true target is vital. The Leica has a pretty small beam divergence so you can be fairly sure the reading is coming back from the intended target, and the new 1600 will range deer on sunny days at over 1000 yds with a steady rest. I have an older LRF 1200, and the new 1600.........the 1600 will go about 200 yds further on small targets (tested them side/side for a few hours). Some of us had issues with the first 1600's that came out and had to send them back. Leica was really good about getting us new ones right away though. It does not give two yardages on angled targets. It will give a correction value up to about 500 yds if you wish, but not designed for use further than that (on the correction value only). A different buttom must be pushed to get the angle to a target. It also gives the temp and local pressure (in psi) when that other buttom is pressed. [/QUOTE]
