[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1363692, member: 80699"] Mike, thanks for the suggestions. I tried this, but it makes no difference. The reason is that my dope strictly for working with the 1600b numbers is at 29.92, 0 altitude. So checking the 'pressure is corrected boxe or removing the check gives the same drops. If I check both boxes, it changes by .2 MOA at 800. The dopes are good for a little more than 500 yards, but it then starts to diverge when compared to the drops I get from a sig 2000, and from actual hits on target. My guess is 1) I am messing something up that I just can't see or 2) Leica's generic curves are just not good enough for use out at 600-875 or 3) there is something wrong with the pressure/temps stuff on my RF. Snakerivereric above describes my exact experience. So I have a Kestrel inbound. I'll use the raw distance and angle info from the Leica, then let the Kestrel do the rest for these longer shots. Considering getting an Conx...on sale for 299....that would be much more convenient...but not liking all that I am seeing re reviews....Leica is so conveniently sized, and most of all, the glass is awesome. I use it as a 'quick look' spotter all the time. Wish Sig or Leica would make one that talks to the Kestrel.....2400 is way out of my range cost wise, as I got a smoking deal on the Kestrel. [/QUOTE]
