[QUOTE="aroshtr, post: 415646, member: 9176"] Ultramag; The range displayed on the Leica is always the true line of sight distance. The processor DOES NOT compensate for angle and give a horizontal shooting distance like other angle compensating range finders. I assume the reason they doe not do this, is because it can calculate the amount of correction needed to hit a target after calculating the angle, temp, and pressure for a specific ballistic curve. I am sure they felt this would be more precise than just a simple angle calculation. Too bad it only works out to about 550yds/10moa..... Leica.... Please modify the software/processor to allow a ballistic coefficient and velocity!!!!! I would gladly pay $1,000 for a unit that had the angle, temp, baro, and a TRUE ballistic calculator. I suppose as soon as someone makes a unit like this, then I will want one that has a compass and corrects for corriolis effect too. Ohhh don't forget spin drift!:D aroshtr [/QUOTE]
