[QUOTE="trebark, post: 1123863, member: 19172"] Remember, the Swaro has a known issue. The issue is beam divergence. The beam on the Swaro is 2.5mils wide. This can be a problem when you are prone on the ground. With a beam that big, it sometimes reads something in front of or behind your intended target. A buddy and I experienced this issue: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/2-va-lrhers-eastern-wy-78874/[/url] The flip side of this issue is the Leica 1600. It has a beam only 1.5mils wide. So it does not have the 'prone issue' that the Swaro has. The trade off is ranging distance. On the same day, in the same conditions, the Swaro will range much farther than the Leica. Keep in mind, the Leica does easily range out to 1000+ with ease. Both the Swaro and Leica are top rated RFs. It's just a matter of choosing the one that is right for you. [url]http://www.accurateshooter.com/gear-reviews/laser-rangefinders/[/url] [/QUOTE]
