[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1155920, member: 1940"] I used a Leica 1600 for a few years and it was a good unit. I talked to a service rep for one of the rangefinder manufacturers that told me expect to realistically see most units range out to 60% of their stated maximum in difficult lighting or on non-reflective targets. This has been pretty accurate IME. How accurate do you need your ballistic solutions to be? Are you shooting at elk size targets to 600 yards, or small varmint size critters at 1K or more. If you're shooting small targets at long range you'll need to measure atmospheric conditions and input those numbers into ballistic software to get accurate solutions. Now you have more devices to carry and more time involved in getting to the shot. In this case the G7 unit can't be beat. Mine has given me solutions for first shot kills on marmots as far as 1402 yards. They are a spendy unit, but well worth the cost, IMO. [/QUOTE]
