[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 77873, member: 1459"] [ QUOTE ] The Swaro will not hit the mile mark. It is a 1500 yard design and my friends model has read 1530 something. While the optics are top notch, I found the aiming point vague and too large. Also, in the right light, you can see the elecrical orange tape that the shows the aiming point causing a orange reflection inside that looks like a computer chip inversed. I still like the Leica 1200 best for the handhelds under 1000 dollars. If you want a laser, consider the surveying range finders used by John Burns in Beyond Belief. They will go to 2500 meters accurately and a scope can be mounted on them for pinpoint aiming. Downside to those is the price. A cheap one if I remember right was $2,800! THe best value and the one we use is the Wild Swiss made military rangefinder (it is the thing that looks like a bazooka in the photos) and it will go to 20,000 meters. Works like a charm with no batteries and has good enough optics that it can double as your spotting scope in a pinch. [/ QUOTE ] Hmmm, thats funny -- a local shooter has had several 1900yd readings with his swaro to pine trees. the new swaro will kill the leica 1200 all day long -- though i dont care for the funky aiming donut either, they WORK! I think Ian had a post to this affect awhile back... YMMV, FWIW... JB [/QUOTE]
