Here's the deal....
Leica only received a few units (less than 100) and sent all of them to Cabelas. This was the entire first run of the 1600. At this time they are the only ones who received them. The second run which will be substantially larger will be another 2-5 weeks according to Leica.
I do not know why the first run was so small, however, I'd like to think it is not a "bug check" or anything of the like. Either way Cabelas is the only source that got any deliveries on this product.
We understand totally if time is pressing and you wish to cancel existing orders with us on this item if you can grab one from Cabelas.
If this is what you'd like to do please speak with either Neil or me and as we wish to compensate you in some manner for the opportunity to assist you on this product. Unfortunately Leica did not spread the delivery around
