[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 710903, member: 4686"] Steeles1, If your intent is for a simple LRF that will tell you the range, both will go out to close to 2000 yds. I've done it with both. If your looking for a LRF with their numerous features, you've found the right ones; depending on how far you need. The 1600, which I like to call the "A" model will go out to 575 yds with it's ballistic calculators. The 1600-B will go out to 875 yds. The A model will, of course, give range in yards or meters. It WILL give you drop in MOA. It will not give "hold-over" such as holding over 22", etc. It will give you angle, temp and baro pressure in psia. At first the psia confused me but I later learned to simply double the output. Example: 12.2 psia, I simply double to 24.4 baro. To me, the end user should decide if 1) 575 yds is enough and 2) if the extra features such as hold over in inches is desired. Just a few days ago, in Montana, I was able to use my 1600-B to quickly obtain a firing solution for 500 yds while a 3x4 mulie buck was sky lined. I made the shot and brought home some future summer sausage. Alan Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
