[QUOTE="ssssnake529, post: 1374752, member: 92079"] I had a pair of the Leica HD-B 2200 edition binoculars. They had one fatal flaw, and that is they stopped working in temperatures below freezing. Optical quality was amazing (every bit as good as my Swaro 10x50 ELs.) The ballistics software was a bit clunky and not very user friendly, but with some work, it provided very good ballistics solutions with custom curves. So, when they worked, they were terrific, but I really got sick of losing the ranging function in cold temperatures. (Not a battery issue, even with a fresh, warm battery, it was a problem.) I lost them on my last hunt. I replaced them with a pair of Zeiss 8x32 Victory binos and a Sig Kilo 2400. The 8x32 binos are about 1/2 the weight of the Leica HD-B and the Sig 2400 is a better rangefinder (even in warm weather.) Have not used this new set up for actual hunting yet, but I've got a Javalina hunt coming up in February, so we'll see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
