Any comments on these? I got a great deal so I jumped in it. Always wanted the 1600b when I first saw one

Wise choice, buy once cry once.

Nice!

I have 1600. A solid unit!
Where did you order it and how much was it?

Cheers,

Vancouvergun store.ca for 839.99 with window mount lol. They gave me the sale price they had a little while ago. Great price!

 

[GreenBob]

About how much I paid for mine many moons ago.

I hope you do a review and post it!

Cheers,

Well don't I feel like a moron. I paid $1099 and did not get any window mount. LOL.

 

[GreenBob]

You win some and you lose some armorman!

How do you like the unit?

Cheers,

Having owned a Vectronix in the past I'm spoiled when it comes to pointing at just about anything and getting an accurate measurement on the first crack. The 2700B has struggled for me on most things past 2000 yards. It will range trees at 2550 yards but only after multiple attempts. I haven't played around with the internal Leica ballistic program much....but I did compare some of the generic curves in the rangefinder with Strelok Pro and they were close. My 2700B never seems to produce an accurate temperature reading though. Not sure if that's the case with all of them or just mine. It always seems to be off by 3 or 4 degrees. All in all it's an alright rangefinder.

I think they made a mistake.....

 

[Mike112288]

Mistake on price??

 

[Canuck525]

Mistake on price??

Yeah but maybe not. I will have to keep an eye on their site cause that seems like a crazy good deal.

 

[Mike112288]

It’s not on their site. It was a sale not too long ago and I asked if they would still honour the sale and they said yes. If ya need one ask them and tel them they gave me that deal lol mines here tomorrow I think

I think you'll get a temperature/DA discrepancy with any of the LRFs with built in sensors. If you leave it in direct sunlight or in your pocket, it heats up, etc. Same as with a Kestrel but you just give your kestrel a few twirls from the lanyard and then set it to not update environmentals. I know you can setup the Sig 2400AB to not update but you have to do it through the phone app.
