[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 415716, member: 4191"] One LRF unit that 'does it all' would be overly complex for the majority of Leica's or any other LRF manufacturer's users, in my opinion. Leica is evidently keeping it simple for the majority of their users, who aren't die-hard LRHs. I don't believe they would sell many units if they cost twice what this unit costs. A good ballistics program in and of itself requires a bit of knowledge and experience to operate properly. Once I become familiar with one, I'm not going to be inclined to run with any generic ballistics software thrown in as an extra feature on a LRF. I'll continue to use the one I've become familiar with. The one that includes spin drift, Coriolis drift, Eotvos affects, factors in corrected atmospheric pressure for angled shots, and has proven itself to accurately predict dope over the years. [I]I do like the atmospheric pressure, temperature, and angle of inclination/declination features on this Leica 1600, on top of the fact that it will likely range far enough to meet my needs. [/I] So I expect to own one before too long. I'll wait to receive some more feedback on its ranging capabilities before pulling the trigger. My Swaro is doing the job for me in the mean time.
