[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 1103419, member: 12660"] The info below is comparing the Leica 1600b to the Bushnell G-Force ARC 1300 (first model, not the DX...if there is a difference) The Bushnell just failed miserably on what I thought would have been a pretty easy task...not just failed...but failed miserably. [url=http://s217.photobucket.com/user/Ridgerunner665/media/IMG_20150726_144106592_HDR_zpso7goa5rr.jpg.html][img]http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc137/Ridgerunner665/IMG_20150726_144106592_HDR_zpso7goa5rr.jpg[/img][/url] The sign in the distance is the target, it is directly above the W on the tanker trailer....the Leica 1600b ranged it every time at 858 yards, no misses, no fussing... The Bushnell will not range it no matter what I do...it will range the trees to the left of it if I'm careful with it (732 yards)...when I aim the Bushnell at the sign it ranges the tanker trailer (41 yards)...I tried bringing the beam down onto the sign from above, no joy...no matter what I do it won't range the sign....the beam is too big...it goes from the tanker to the trees. That should give you an idea of the effect of beam divergence...look how wide that gap is...and the Bushnell beam won't fit in there. I know we don't generally use these things to range signs...but I'm a truck driver...and I'm testing these while I work, so I gotta improvise a little. [/QUOTE]
