[QUOTE="Rymart, post: 1132772, member: 3688"] Took them out to the gun range briefly after work today to play a bit more. I got a read on that pesky steel plate rumored to be one mile, that I hadn't been able to hit with my Swaroskvi's since it was put up. 1770 yards... I hit it (and/or the hill 10 yards behind it) over-and-over-again without a single mis-read, and this was all handheld, no tripod. I hit everything out to 1880 yards no problem. Mostly steep hillsides, rocks, cliffs, patches of sagebrush, bushes, but really anything I pointed it at... I did not get a reading past 1880 yards, almost like it was capable of going further, but programed not to. I worked my way up a steep hillside going about 10 yards further on each reading and had instantaneous, repeated, reads right up to 1880 yards, but anything past that was a no-go... It is rated for 1860 yards so no disappointment I guess. Oh and I took 2-shots at the 1-mile steel plate with the 338 LM. Hit on the second shot. Missed the wind call by 3 mph on the first shot which was a .6 mil wind drift difference at that distance (11 mph verses 14 mph, full value). Easy to spot my own shots with 2.6 seconds of flight time. [/QUOTE]
