Im gona call bullshit on that. Had them for the past 3 year's the farthest hit anyone in our section got was me at 1140 here in afghanistan. We use mk 7's now because they are spot on and give a 10 digit grid, For a civilian your wasting your money. For the guy that I quoted you do know what 1600 stands for right? You saying you got a hit over a mile while holding that P.O.S. in your hand is just embarrassing for you. </div></div>
I guess I will stand in line with the "embarassing" crowd. I have gotten REPEATABLE 1500+ yard returns off the sides of buildings.
So, I call bullshit on your bullshit. </div></div>
As far as raw distance, add me to the list too. 1700+ on a regular basis on trees with the furthest nearly 1900. My issue is ranging smaller objects at closer ranges, but mine may either not be one of the better ones, or it may be a limitation based on capability. Will evaluate a different unit this weekend and see if it is consistent with mine. Also will have a Leica 1600B on hand, so it will be interesting to compare the two. The Leica has *significantly* less beam divergence.
I really like the fact that the Bushy just scans automatically, whereas the Leica has to have the button held down for 2.5 seconds to activate scan mode. The Leica has MUCH better glass and as a monocular is the better choice. The Bushy is more steady due to the flat as opposed to vertical design of the Leica. I'll post a more thorough comparison once I've had some time in the field with them.
