[QUOTE="jeff 300, post: 520870, member: 4145"] Well i got a call from Hamilton today he said he had try my RF out and it was not reading as good as others that he had but it was working out to 1800+ offhand' But i never got either one to work out to even a thousand 1000. i tried ranging a oil tank that was not even a 1000 a number of times and it never worked. the first one i had at my ranch and tried ranging mountain side that where 750-1500 and only got it to read out to 850 a couple times never any thing close to a 1000 and dam sure not over a 1000. He said that in his controled field it worked some what OK like 3or 4 out of 10. he said that he has found that the 1600 ranged some trees and other things better than others and that a round tank was one thing that it would not work good on WHY!!!!! He also said he has found that the 1200 would range some things better that the 1600 again WHY?????? THE TANK IS FIGGING 20'X40' TALL WHY IN THE HELL WOULDN"T A 1600 RANGE FINDER NOT RANGE IT ????????????? OK OK forget the tank. i tried a roof top some where around 550 not off hand i was using a wall as support it wouldn't range it but my 9-10 year old Bushnell 1000 would hit it every time????? So i say if they can't make a range finder that works OK most the time. then maybe they need to call Swarovski and ask them how to make one. If a range finder as supposed to range out to 1600 then you should not have to look for a perfect dam target the dam thing should read a figging oil tank that is 20x40 and not get whipped by a 10 year old junky bushnell 1000 at around 500. I don't know how he got it to read off hand out to 1800+ when i could not read a roof top 500-550 supported by a wall. So i like that Leica at least called me. BUT I'm not overly happy with what i was told why the 1600 didn't work right. it sounded like they really don't have a answer to fix the problem or to what the problem really is. So I'm getting my 3rd one with one of the new tripod mounts for it but if this one doesn't work a hell of a lot better then the other two. I'm going to just buy a used Swarovski . till i save enough for a Vectronix PLRF 10. I'm sick of this dam range finders they all r a joke. SO IMO DON'T BUY!!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!
