[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1377894, member: 92230"] Hello and Merry Christmas to All!!! I have already searched and read through 3 pages of threads . . . didn't quite get the information I'm after. Budget: $400 - $600 (I'm very patient so I can wait for something to go on sale - just for consideration). Uses: Hunting NW Mountains - 700 yds max on game animals. Shooting Competitions - have never done one and don't plan on being competitive, just want to participate. Since I do not plan on ever killing an animal beyond 700 (unless it's a varmint) I do NOT need to spend more money on a feature that I don't need (distance). If I ever get to the point where I want to shoot animals beyond 700 yards, it will require several years of practice, then I'll upgrade to something newer with more bells and whistles at that time. With that said, I do like quality. I'm leaning towards the Leica 1,600B. Questions: I can't find a source online that will explain to me the "ballistic profile options" for the 1600B. I know that it provides information for temperature and pressure and that it compensates for ballistic curve . . . but I can't find a detailed report of how it links all of these together (or maybe it doesn't)? Does the 1,600 B take pressure, temperature, angle of inclination and a specific load (programmed B/C, velocity, etc) into account to calculate a true and accurate shoot-to rance? - I'd like to confirm that I can input a specific bullet load into the range finder and save it (and a few others) as a "profile". Basically, will this function like a G7?!?!?! Haha, I know that's a lot to ask of something that's 1/3 or less the price fo a G7. - If it does NOT function or program like a G7, does it come with enough pre-programmed ballistic curves to accurately align with multiple modern popular calibers (think 7 Rem Mag, 6.5 Creed, 270 Win, etc)? Thanks all, I hope nobody get's too offended if this has already been beaten to death . . . but I figure everyone is at home with family and looking for something to take their mind off cleaning up wrapping paper and cardboard boxes . . . Merry Christmas everyone!!! [/QUOTE]
