[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 42764, member: 34"] Hello again Follow up today on the 1200 Leica. At shorter ranges from 100 to 600 and 700 yards, it seems to work pretty good even in the sunlight. It returned a reading at 1053 Yards from a large hemlock tree, in the sun, across the mountain. Only problem was, I hit the button 20 times before it was able to come back with a reading and only "ONE" time did it do so. At various yardages I have had to take several readings on the SAME target before it will come back with a yardage reading. I see why they recommend a backup battery. Thats what I have found with the new Leica 1200 and I will be sending it back today. Not because I don't think it is a decent unit but, I have the military unit that is the Cadillac of lasers and will range first time EVERY time in any conditions out to 12 Miles. As stated before, for the average hunter and medium LR hunter it would probably work fine "IF" you have the correct sky conditions. At $400.00 this fellow (Alex) will sell quite a few of them, I have a feeling. Darryl Cassel [/QUOTE]
