I have a Leica 1600, Leica 2700, and a Terrapin. The Terrapin is the best but also cost more than double the 2700. The 2700 is a substantial jump up from the 1600 in speed and in distance it will read. It's pretty common to get readings on animals at half the rated range and that would put a 2700 at 1350yds or further than 99.9% of the people take shots at game. It's more than the Nikon's but the glass is exceptional and has been stated, the beam divergence is small compared to most other cheaper rangefinders. I bought mine from Cabelas when you could get 20% off gift cards from ebay plus Active Junky bucks and it ended up costing me a little over 600.00. Now you cant get Active Junky bucks using gift cards and the 20% off gift cards haven't been on ebay for months. With the current gift cards from Raise it would be about 800.00 for a 2700.
