[QUOTE="Target Tamers, post: 1495857, member: 106478"] So, even the Leupold and Sig are brand new, and you can get them for around sub$300! That's a pretty awesome deal. To narrow things down even further: Sig: [LIST] [*]heard they have a good warranty, I think it's lifetime on the electronics which is important for a lrf, or at least a minimum of 5 years - the Leupold only has a 2-year warranty on it. [*]It's supposed to do excellent in less than ideal weather - snow and rain. [*]Super-fast readings [*]However, I've heard they have issues with quality control. Can't speak to experience on this, but there's certainly more complaints about Sig vs Leica. [*]Extreme ranging capabilities [/LIST] Leica: [LIST] [*]Fantastic optical quality [*]Also features air pressure and temperature sensors [*]Can be used conveniently by left-hand users [*]Typically outperforms yardage ranges claimed for that model [*]Have repeatedly seen that Leica has a very small beam divergence of 0.5 mil that reduces errors when ranging further out. However, I've been unable to verify this with something official from Leica. But, it seems to be common knowledge that Leica does have a reduced beam divergence versus most other lrf. [/LIST] If you can, are you able to test drive any of these models? I don't think you'll be unhappy with a Leica. But, believe it or not, there have been Leica users who have traded in for a Sig, but it's usually been for a 2400+ model. The Leupold is so new, and I still haven't been able to play with it in person. Called every store in my city and they didn't have any on their shelves yet. I hope other people weigh in. When I get the chance to have a Leica, I will. I'm obsessed so eventually I'll end up owning one from each brand. Working my way towards it :D btw, found this LRH thread on this very topic: [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/leica-2000-b-rangefinder.194029/']leica 2000b vs sig 2200[/URL] [/QUOTE]
