Do they both measure in yards? What is the range on the 403 model? Can a guy wait and register it with Leica closer to hunting season, or do they go by date of purchase? The only reason I'd consider one of these is that you (Doug) are there to back me up.

They are both 2000 yard models You should register when you buy as they know when we buy them as they are tracked by serial #. If you have any issues we will be here to assist you.

Is the #40049 worth the extra money?

The 40049 is the HD-B version which offers more than the HD-R:
Using an array of built-in sensors, this electro-optic measures the ambient atmospheric conditions as well as the shooter's angle relative to the target. By compiling data from the laser rangefinder and environmental sensors, the ballistics computer will calculate several values that can help improve shot placement.
Leica's Advanced Ballistic Compensation (ABC) technology combines temperature and air pressure readings with rangefinder data, zeroing distance, and user-defined ballistics curve to calculate ballistic compensation values. To maximize the accuracy of compensation values, the Geovid HD-B allows the shooter to input their rifle's zero distance and select a ballistics curve corresponding to the chambered round. The HD-B is pre-loaded with 12 ABC ballistics curves for various calibers and weights, and alternative ballistics curves can be stored and uploaded using the included microSD card. An in-view LED display allows the observer to view the calculated ABC values without taking their eyes off the visual scene.
Advanced Ballistic Compensation Equivalent Horizontal Range mode calculates horizontal distance to target Point of Aim mode displays the holdover compensation in centimeters Impact Point Correction mode calculates elevation adjustment in MOA / MRAD clicks Inclinometer measures the shooter's angle of inclination relative to the target Barometer and thermometer measure ambient atmospheric conditions Zeroing distance is programmable in 100 yd / m increments 12 pre-loaded ballistics curves corresponding to load caliber, type, weight Alternative ballistics curves can be stored and uploaded using the microSD card ABC values are derived from the set zeroing distance and ballistics curve, atmospheric readings, target's angle of inclination and measured distance
If you're a techy guy that will take advantage of all of these features then yes it pays. If you're a "set it and forget it" kinda guy then the HD-R is the way to go

Do the 40054 factor in angle?

Do the 40054 factor in angle? The Leica Geovid HD-R 10x42 typ 403 binoculars provides ranging information for both distance and angle within .2 seconds using the Advanced Rifleman's Rule geometric calculation to determine the EHR distance for correct hold over, turret adjustable, or drop down reticle aiming point. Other features include an open hinge design, accurate measurement range, actuation button on right hand side, maximum optical performance, lightweight magnesium body, non-slip rubber armoring, Perger Porro prism system, and simplified functions and menu with auto-brightness control.

Well, I officially folded like a lawn chair. After my repeated "I'm gonna keep my binos and RF separate" ramblings, I went against everything I stand for and ordered the Geovid's from Doug, the 40054's. I have SV's, a separate RF, and now these incoming. We'll shall see I guess.
