Well, I bought a Leica 1600B this weekend. I read reviews on the Hide and other places. I took a look at several different models at the local Cabela's to confirm that I was buying the Leica. So far, definitely impressed. Very quick to range and I've gotten over 1600yds on hard targets. The menu system and ballistic calculator is a little tricky to setup as the instruction manual is not very clear. I ended up setting it up with the ballistic chart that best matches my .308 AR platform, but I would consider it more of a guideline than 100% accurate. I have it displaying holdover in inches for now.
Glass is very clear and is 7X magnification. I haven't had a chance to range a soft target (animal) at distance yet, but I'm sure it will be farther than I will ever take a shot at an animal. For me, I would not consider taking a shot past 400 yds with my .308 and probably about 500 with my .300WM, but honestly, the longest shot I have taken at a critter was 250yds. Never really had an opportunity to shoot one past that as most of my feeders are in the 100-160 range.
Anyway, I liked it over the other brands I played with (Ziess, Bushnell, Leupold, and Swarovski).
Next, I need to upgrade my Binocs......
