Thank you I’m also concerned about the up hill and down hill calculations on the rangefinder do you have any experience with thatThe 2000b is the standalone monocular rangefinder, follow on to the very popular 1600b model. Both these units are very similar with the newer 2000b ranging out a bit further to 2000 yards.
My only personal experience has been with the 1600b. I've had one for several years and it has been very reliable and accurate. Consistently has worked on cows and deer out to 800 when handheld so long as aim was steadied by leaning against something. Trees and terrain can usually be reliably measured out to 1300. Beyond that, it gets a little trickier but I have ranged objects out to beyond 1600 on occasions. Unit has also been very reliable when ranging steel. Like I said, this is all with the 1600b.
I don't know about the Leicas, but half or better of the Sigs I saw wouldn't range past 1000. Matt
The Leica 2000B is on sale at Euro Optics. Matt

Thank youI always wonder about tech stuff.... I know it's blue tooth and it talks to my Kestrel and that talks to my phone but sometimes I think there can be too much tech and/or interference. I have my COS indicator on my scope (if shooting up/down hill), I range with my Leica then then punch it in my Kestrel. Done. I'm not very smart so I try to keep things simple.
I have 2 Leupold range finders a 750 and a 1000. Last year I got a chance to try a Leica.
The Leica was far superior to either of my Leupold range finders.
