[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1363949, member: 80699"] Ahh, yeah, gotcha on the 2200. Was actually looking at these at Cabelas today. May keep and eye out for a sale, but even so, it would only save me 1 variable to enter, so not sure. On the pressure stuff for the second dope...the first dope is the actual conditions as they were where i was. The second 'Leica dope' is to work within Leica's system, as it was explained to me by Harrison. Essentially, your dope is always based on those sea level conditions (except they use 68 degrees instead of 58 that some systems use). Your dope, or custom turret or whatever, is supposed to always be for those conditions. What the RF is supposed to do is then look at the actual conditions, and output a distance (EHR) that essentially corrects for the difference between the standard conditions dope and actual conditions. If it works properly, you only ever need dope for one set of conditions, and a 'distance based' custom turret would work great. The RF does all the corrections and translates it to the standard conditions so you never have to worry that elevation has changed, temp, etc....the RF takes care of it for you and just tells a 'corrected' distance for you to dial to. Problem is, it all has to work, and I don't think it is very effective when the curves they use are canned. In addition, I just checked my RF against two thermometers, which both agree, and the RF is sitting here in the same room is runs about 10% high. They appear to have fixed the generic curve issue on the new 2700, but still limit the EHR numbers to shots under 1200ish yards. Since we are are already shooting beyond that, if I were to get another RF, it would need to be a sig or the Conex. [/QUOTE]
