[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1033170, member: 48608"] I've been using Leica Geovids, 10x42, since they came out. They've hunted 4 continents, mountains, swamps, desert and rain forests. Still going strong. (My wwife has them now.) Leica has sent me a couple lens covers over the years. It's the weakest part of their system. A call to them always has new one in the mail for free. Last year some of the armor wsa starting to come loose. Again, great customer service. I sent them in, all fixed up and even complete check up and no charges to me. You can still get 10x model without ballistic program. It's about $500 less than the new ones with ballistic programming capabilities. However, the non ballistic new models DO have an angle measuring capability. That's a feature that is worth it for me. I have run my Leicas next to hunting partners with other models. I seem to get more consistent and capable ranging under more conditions than they have. Leica is supposed to have a beam dispersion that is narrower and better able to distinguish targets better. My experience and observations do confirm that in my experience. I made the plunge into the new HDS-B last fall. Used them all hunting season from MN woods to the prairies and mountains of WY, CO & NM. VERY happy with them. I do need to figure out the ballistics eventually. For now, I use the range, angle, pressure and temp feature with my data cards. Works well for me. [/QUOTE]
