[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 401398, member: 2011"] Cover Dog, Good find! I have the Leica 1200 Scan. I know that the beam divergence is 0.5 millirad and spent much time during a hunt several years ago determining where the beam was hitting with respect to the sighting square. I determined that the center line of the beam was a little above the bottom line of the sighting square. The beam didn't seem to be any wider than the sighting square. Once this was determined, I practiced ranging into the trees and ranging the sighting squares adjacent to the original sighting square. When held steady as much as 140 yards was ranged back into the trees where the beam would fit. The adjacent square test were revealing also. It really got my goat the other day when I couldn't range on my vehicle at 700 yds. However I could range the piece of sage brush adjacent to it. But on the other hand, I could pick my 1.5'x2' target on a sage brush flat @ 705 yards. I don't think it would have been possible if I didn't know how the LRF was sighted or if the beam were larger. There are times when the Leica will range well beyond 1200 but its never when I really need to. Usually when lighting it typical 1214 yds is as far as it will go. I can now out shoot the Leica's ability to range. Thus I'm in the market. [/QUOTE]
