Shedhunteraz Report post Posted September 23, 2014 Yes have the 1600B. Only down fall is the the angle comp doesn't kick in till 80 to 100 and stops at 800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted September 23, 2014 My buddy has one and I set his up for him. I am not impressed with them at all. You might as well get the 1600 without the ballistics if you are going to get a Leica. The ballistics only get close and show in clicks which is half a$$ IMO. If you want a rangefinder that has precision calculations look at the G7BR2 from gunworks. That is the one I have it will do ballistics out to 1400 yards and range out past 2000. When I was looking for a long range my price range was 1200.00 but then i seen how many people did not like their 1600B and was then looking at the 1600. After LOTS of research I found the G7BR2 and it was WHAT I NEEDED AND WANTED so I saved the money and bought it. I am VERY happy with it and just finnaly changed the battery after having her for about a year now. One of the BEST investments i have ever made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted September 23, 2014 The 1600 ranging capability is Amazing! It's ballistic capability is not. Your better off using it as a range finder and using a ballistic app for the rest. The BEST range finder is the G7. It will do everything you want.

BMart Report post Posted September 24, 2014 I have one. Ended up with it through a warranty deal with a Leica 900 or I would have never paid that much. If it was only $400 I wouldn't bash it the way I do but It's not worth $800. The angle feature sucks if you are a bowhunter, I have a seperate rangefinder for archery. The ballistic program on the B model isn't impressive. It will range anything and everything inside of 2000 yards but I don't think that one feature is worth it's price. I would suggest 2 things. If you want the ballistic software get the G7, if you just want to range a long way get something like the bushnell 1600. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you are very happy, does it provide MIL adjustments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted October 2, 2014 No...Only MOA, Inches, or BDC. I have not seen one on the market yet for Mil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
