[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1363149, member: 80699"] I have 1600b and noted some accuracy problems with it in terms of the displayed "effective horizontal range". I was in Colorado shooting with a friend into a steep canyon, and when I used the dope from JBM for the conditions (8k feet, 50 degrees, 25% humidity, 30.06 inches), coupled with a reading from my friends Sig kilo, spot on at 500 and beyond. When using the Leica displayed EHR, and then checking the dope supplied by JBM for Leica's standard conditions (sea level, 68 degrees, 50% humidity, 29.92 inches), it was okay at 500, but started to fall off as we stretched it. By the time we got to 875 raw horizontal, the difference between Sig holdover and Leica holdover was off by around 1 MOA, the Leica range causing me to be low, the Sig range/corresponding drop being good. I have noticed that the Leica pretty much is off in terms of what temperature it reads back to me, not sure if pressure is also off etc. Or if perhaps there is some setting I have set wrong. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
