[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 380727, member: 13632"] It was kinda my impression that the Huskemaw unit is basically a fix for BDC turrets. It seemed that it would give you a corrected range to dial your BDC turret to based on elevation and environmental conditions as apposed to dialing a little short if you've come up in elevation or your shooting at an angle. I would think that for us MOA guys it may be more useful if you can turn off the ballistics out put and just get the enviro, angle, elevation and a non-corrected range that we can plug into our program from a single unit. I kinda sounded like the Huskemaw unit would have some range to it though. It seems the Leica 1600 coming out may just be the ticket for most of us for hunting, add to it a good wind meter and ballistics program, I was about to pull the trigger on the Ziess till I read about the Leica 1600, at this rate I will never get a good range finder because of waiting for the next great thing. I have envisioned being able to buy a range finder with Patagonia Ballistics in it, a guy could get all the info set, shoot drops on a PPC or desktop then sync it to the range finder like we do with the desktop and PPC now. Range it and get a range, a MOA elevation and MOA windage corrections. Didn't Shawn Carlock say something about using surveying equipment to get good ranges? [/QUOTE]
