I was able to snag one of the first Leica 1600's sold from Cableas. The unit it replaced, a Bushnell 400 was the size of a small pair of 8x30 binos. That certainly was a plus. But the ballistic program (uphill/downhill) is too diffcult for this caveman to figure out, and its only good for 300 yards. I would purchase it again, as its easy to carry, and it ranges much farther than I'll ever shoot. But I didn't need all the extra computer programing (temp, altitude, etc.) that went with it. I thought it would be nice to have, and for me its wasted. On a soft target (elk) I got a reading of 750 yards, which was as far as I could see where I hunted.
