[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1363843, member: 80699"] Yep, that is where I am heading. Frankly, I am disappointed in the Leica in that regard. It appeared to be a great solution when I bought it, EHR would take into account all the variables but wind...you could even have a turret cut with distance markings and be good to go because it always references 0, 29.92, 68 degrees with it's EHR output. But without custom curve input (or whatever else needs to happen to make EHR accurate to extended differences), not so good. Additionally, I don't like the EHR limit of 875 yards. When I bought it, I thought I would never shoot past probaby 500, except at a range with known distances. So 875 seemed fine. Now, that's become limiting, we had to switch to the sig for almost all of our rock busting, as 800 was the warmup, and we went out from there (not much farther, mind you, but farther than the Leica would provide an angle adjusted distance for). As we were shooting steep angles, I need a better solution. I know that the new 2700b allows input of curves, and has a limit of 1200 for EHR. But we are already shooting past that distance, and hope to get further this year, so that won't really do the trick. Plus, I am not assured that the custom curves will fix the problem. So for now, it's raw Leica data and a new AB kestrel, but I would like a faster solution, so the Conx has my attention. Went to look at one today at Cabelas, but they were out of stock. Anyone have any thoughts on this RF? Seems like with the Kestrel, it would be a fast and effective solution. I know about the 2400, but that price is just way too far for me to reach. Thanks!
