[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1605857, member: 80699"] Rocky, Hard to answer that, as conditions are everything. I have a couple reviews up on the 2700 and 2800...I think the 2800 only is on this board, the one on the 2700 is on a couple others as well. Anyway, I ran both of these for months (years in the case of the 2700) in everything from sun to snow, Texas to Michigan to Colorado. Tested on steel, targets, trees, rocks, and animals where I could find them (that was actually the hardest!). The best I can characterize is that shooting good trees both the 2700 and 2800 will get right at 2800 yards under good conditions (end of day, low light, clear). Same with good rock faces. The 2700, the best I ever got was 2785, and the 2800, 2800, though it felt like it may have had a bit more in it, but I ran out of space. On a 12" white paper target, I got just over 1500 IIRC with both, but it took a lot of tries...it was much more reliable at just over 1400 IIRC. Animals, well, they don't seem to cooperate much for me, but cows at over 1000 was easily done, even in full sun. Under clouds, I hit a skylined hiker at just over 1300, and a deer at about the same distance. Those were very hard for me as even when you have it on a tripod, 7x at 1300 yards on a Central Texas dog-sized whitetail doe is hard. Thing to note is that full sun, haze, dust, heavy humidity, all that stuff makes a dramatic difference, so take these distances with a grain of salt. But overall, my experience with Leica CRF's is that the number they give you is good in most conditions on realistic targets, conditions and targets where some other brands would cut out long before hitting that number.
