[QUOTE="true1911, post: 1101630, member: 9209"] It all depends on how far you want to be able to shoot. 700-1000 yards they probably range pretty equally. After that the G7 is going to give you ranges more consistently and with less effort. My farthest handheld range with G7 was 2552 yards. I use it all the time in the mountains to figure out estimates on how long it will take me to get somewhere. The 1600 requires a rock steady rest or a tripod to get distant readings and it won't range as far as the G7, at least that's what my experience has been. I've experimented with the G7 and with the near/ far settings I've been able to range through a chain link fence. If I couldn't afford a G7 the Leica is next best rangefinder down the list price wise that I've used or seen. The Swaro I had was an early model and I wasn't happy with how the rangefinder performed. They may have gotten better or got the issues worked out but for me they weren't worth how much they cost. [/QUOTE]
