Lots of good advice here, and I'd have to say that your Lieca is capable of better performance. Clean the lens, change the battery and if that don't work, send it to Leica's repair shop. I have a LRF 800 that the LED display died on after about 1 year. I phoned Leica and they told me to send...

I've seen the combination Extended Long Range LRF / Binoculars / Compass that you are talking about. If memory serves, its called the model 6000. (?) and is priced at around $10,000.00 US. The reason that it is a restricted LEO / Military item is because it's laser in not an "eye safe" type...

In regards to not being able to focus at maximum power, try and adjust your cheekweld. Focus the scope as best you can on the distant target then move your head slightly back and forth over the comb of the stock without adjusting the parallax adjustment, if that does not work, then play with the...

I find that 4'' sunshades darken the sight picture too much and therefore, use only 2 1/2" shades. I keep a threaded on both ends 4 inch shade in the ruck for extreme circumstances such as fresh snow in bright sunlight, but the vast majority of the time the 2 1/2" shade works best. Even during...

Hallo Mate Remember when using high powered riflescopes, there will be an appearance of "darker on the higher powers" due simply to the exit pupil and how the human eye sees the light reflected off what is being observed, then refracted through several lenses. To determine any optics exit...

I have the Chrony Beta model. It will provide accurate readings IF you keep the sensor unit at the full length of the cord ( to the display unit ) infront of the rifle, and IF there is adequate / direct sunlight over the electric eyes. Now I've heard a lot of good things about the Oehler, but...

I don't think you can have a 100% American made anything anymore. Nor do I think it is unpatriotic to purchase any product that best suits your needs in a global economy. Buy it because it meets your requirements, and assess it by how well it performs. The only negative reports I've heard...

For a man who wants to pull his company out of the black cloud it is now under, I would say this is a very good first step on the long road ahead. But let us remember that their prime competitor ( Leupold ) has a long standing “We fix our scopes and don’t care who the original owner is” policy...

Naw, first round is on me Blaine. To paraphrase our former *Kommander in cheek*, you have had to feel enough pain. Honestly, a few years back I myself was very, very ( perhaps too ) close to putting in an order for a SN-3 MK IV. Fortunately, the reports began to surface on forums such as this...

I can see where you’re coming from, but never in a thousand years will you be able to convince me that a customer, who pays top dollar for a specialty product, should be responsible for modifying the scope or developing elaborate computer programs in order to create a firing solution. There is...

Nighthawk, You owe me no apology. Your post I've seen were honest and forthright, nor did you attempt to conceal pertinent facts. You most certainly did not start this war as this has been long festering with little change over the years. Also, I appreciate your warning on the upcoming...

I'm sorry you disapprove of my warning others of this company Jim. But nor is this the first time we've heard: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><HR> these problems are being addressed and have been addressed, and resolved. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>...
