[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1605849, member: 80699"] Vcinri, So I have used both the 2700 and 2800 hunting. Leica sent me a 2800 in the early fall to test, it was a prototype, so some functionality was not there yet. But most of it was. So I got to test it quite a bit, I put a review up on this board somewhere. I also have one up on the 2700. Anyway, I have used both in hunting...they range exceptionally well. Their small divergence and precise sensor placement make ranging accurate. The ballistics are sufficient, certainly to as far as most people will be killing animals, but are their weakpoint, if you can all it that. Nonetheless, I have not had a problem with getting it trued up to AB (more or less, and if you exclude coriolis) with a little tweaking of the BC and velocity that I used to create the custom curve I uploaded. That's where the 2800 shines, as you can off load all that onto a Kestrel with AB, have it do the heavy lifting, and then it displays your solution in the RF, plus your range limit for a solution is as far as the RF will range, whereas without the Kestrel, you are limited to 1k yards. Glass is outstanding for a CRF and these units are very well thought out and refined. Leica has a lot of years of know-how in the RF business, and it shows. [/QUOTE]
