[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 770188, member: 61747"] couple of things. First congrats on the Swaro el with RF. Nice set up. I have swaro el 10x50 with swarvision and would never ever ever use a RF in place of bino's, even cheaper ones. Looking through a mono glass drives me nuts. After using a friends Swaro RF I bought the Leica 1600B. It wins in every category except glass. To answer the question about angle you can use the slope degree or have the RF tell you the horizontal distance. For me, I use the horizontal distance vs the true distance so I don't have to input another number in my ballistics program (shooter). The horizontal range is the number that is meaningful to your bullet flight anyway. Leica does have absolute baro and temp. Temp is so so. It takes a bit to match outside conditions and needs to be carried away from the body if you want accurate readings. Last, Leica does have 12 drop charts you can choose from. You match your bullet drop to the chart and select the closest match. That works for the shorter distances. It has MOA, mils, etc. For me, the Leica gives what I need the most: true range, adjusted range for the angle (horizontal), and absolute barometric pressure. I leave it on horizontal range all the time though. This is the meaningful number. Also, the Leica is crazy fast on returning a result and pretty dang accurate with the smaller beam. [/QUOTE]
