[QUOTE="Broz, post: 334552, member: 7503"] I own two of the swaro's, and bought another for a friend of mine. All the buttons feel different. One of mine you need to push a bit harder and hold it longer. The other has a destinctive click and works fine. The one I bought my friend, has no click or movement but if you put pressure on it the reticle appears and it works ok. I think they have two definate problems with the Swaro Laser gides. One the buttons are failing. Two: many of them will freeze up and wont come on. You remove and replace the battery and they will re-boot and come back on. I sent my first one in for this. Back to Austria it went.Got it back and six months later it was doing it again. Called and they sent me a BRAND NEW unit. First weekend I was ranging a 360" bull.. pushed the buttom... nothing.. Pulled the battery out , put it back in and it worked again...:rolleyes: It has done this one more time since then. I called them on it and requested a call back from the superviser.... That was two weeks ago, still no call back. I need to call again, they have always been very good to me on warranty. I am considering putting in a battery switch. A small normally closed button. That way when it freezes I can just push the button like a reset. lightbulb Oh, and that 360" bull. I grabbed my Leica CRF from my bag and ranged him on the first try. 342 yards. But by now he was surrounded by cows and I would have needed a bull and a couple cow tags at that range if would have pulled the trigger on the lapua. How do I know he was 360" another hunter killed him the next day.. Oh well, thats two good trophies I missed now cuz my Swaro failed. You guys that are in love with the swaro , if you ever get the chance to range an animal on flat ground with a swaro and a Leica side by side you will see what I mean. I just came in.
