[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1072050, member: 14204"] Yes, they are indeed a great unit for for LR hunting and shooting. However, they are as good in bowhunting as they can be easily stowed conveniently and access readily on and off my shirt pocket. :D As far as budget, if you do a "regular" price of the RF unit per yardage capability, you'll be surprise of the outcome ... Leupold TBR 1000i is $400/100 = $.4/yard. vs. Leica 1600-B is $800/1600 = $.5/yard. I've seen the Leica 1600 for under $600/1600 = $.38/yard Having said that my Leica 1600 have ranged elk 1830 yards and object beyond 2000 yards. My friend's TBR's best range on a non-reflective is a little over 500 yards and reflective is just shy of 800 yards; he's happy with it as it meets his requirements. Price/budget is relative and because this is LR, IMHO the Leica 1600 or 1600B (as well as the 1000 and 1200 series) is a better buy. [B]NOTE:[/B] The Leica has one of the smallest beam divergence and one of the primary reason of it's effectiveness. Jeff (BROZ) did extensive real world comparative analysis of the Leica against his Swaro RF. However, "we" can only provide a sound advice and the OP has the ultimate responsibility to make the decision and the consequences associated with it. [/QUOTE]
