[QUOTE="Broz, post: 525355, member: 7503"] Paul, I have my fingers crossed for you too. I really hope you get to see a good one work. Please remember the ranges you get from the Leica will be more precise than the Swaro. So if they range close to the same distance in my opinion the Leica will server you better. At the 1400 yards you mentioned the Swaros beam is over 8 feet in diameter. Ths is how the Swaros return more numbers at farther distances. The problem is you could be ranging something that you are not intending to. I know you hunt in steep terrain but I truely feel the large beam of the Swaro will bite you sooner or later. Mine did because it would not range a deer at 950~ 1000. The deer was in a picked cornfield and the beam kept catching stocks. When I lifted up to try to get just the deer it would only range the tree line behind. I worked at it until it was to dark to shoot. This was my one and only chance ever at a 200" Whitetail. two days later I was out of time and took a doe at 1137 yards to fill my tag. That was when I started the search for a better RF with a small beam divergence. Good luck man!! Jeff [/QUOTE]
