I sold my Leica 1600B a year ago and need a new piece. What's the best buy on the market now? Any good deals?
Best buy on a LRF? Reccomedations?
- Thread starter CrabsandFootball
- Start date
Just bought one of the kestrals from you (Delivered today actually) so Maybe something with BT would be more appropriate?
I also just got a Kestrel and purchased the Elite upgrade. Taking a long hard look at the Sig Kilo 3000 BDX @ CameraLand to pair with it...
I have looked quite a bit and can't find it.....
Whats the difference between the Leica 2700 and 2800?
The 2700 seems like a pretty good buy through Doug.
I am looking for something to use for some long range shooting, working with a Kestrel, as well as more stand alone use for hunting where I will not have both units available at one time.

2700B:
- Integrated inclinometer measures upward or downward angle relative to target
- Internal barometric and temperature sensors measure atmospheric conditions that can affect bullet trajectory and ballistic arc
- Built-in ABC ballistic program compiles data for angle of incline, temperature, barometric pressure, and ammunition type for precise hold-over/under with displayed riflescope MOA adjustment (clicks) for improved shot accuracy
- Twelve pre-programmed ballistic curves to choose from
- Equivalent Horizontal Range (EHR): An algorithm that uses distance and angle to calculate an adjusted range
- ABC is accurate to 1000 yards (914 meters) EHR system accurate to 1200 yards (1100 meters)
- Calculates range, including EHR, in 0.5 seconds
- microSD card slot allows the use of pre-loaded ballistic curves from the Leica on-line ballistic calculator
- Integrated Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity to Android/iOS smartphones running the Leica Hunting app or a Kestrel 5700 Elite weather meter
- Built-in ABC ballistic program compiles data for angle of incline, temperature, barometric pressure, rifle being used, and ammunition load for precise hold over/under with displayed adjustments for improved shot accuracy in MOA/inches, centimeters/MIL, or distance
- When connected with the Kestrel 5700 Elite with Applied Ballistics, the Rangemaster will display both elevation and windage corrections as far as the rangefinder can read
- Equivalent Horizontal Range (EHR): An algorithm that uses distance, angle, and other environmental factors to calculate and display an adjusted range
- ABC and EHR systems accurate to 1200 yards
- Twelve pre-programmed ballistic curves based on popular loads; output values available at ranges from 10 to 875 yards
- Create custom curves through the free smartphone app; ballistic curves available from 10 to 1000 yards
- When using the optional Kestrel 5700 Elite weather meter, ballistic curves are available from 10 to 2800 yards
Yes, the 2800.com like a champ!
Update the sportsman software to the newest version. No need to upgrade unless you want all the bells and whistles.

Yea that's what I am leaning towards. Most of my research (and I have owned Lieca LRFs going back to the 900/1200s) is saying you really can't trust the value of the cheaper units. In the big scheme of things and extra $1000 for a much more capable and reliable piece of gear is hard to pass up.
This article kind of sold me:

Connectivity and features dont really mean shit if the data going in is junk.
I’m still happy with my Leupold 2800.
Hits at a mile are easy and with some scanning I get hits at 2000-2300 regularly.
I’m kinda out growing it now and am looking at the Fury 5000 and Leica 3500 now.

So if well known units are giving bad data back What u think a cheaper chinese leupold is going to give?
Getting a return is worthless if its not correct.
getting a number is not the goal, getting the right number is.

Had my cheap Leupold out to 2600+ today with the help of a tripod.
Plug in distance to kestrel, bang!
Right in the ballpark only having to adjust for wind.
Admittedly conditions for a LRF were about perfect.
