Super, thanks! Definitely, I like the idea of the 2400, but I already have the Kestrel, which I really like, so may be able to trade into another Leica through someone I know. I thought about just getting the 1600r and bypassing Leica's ballistics entirely...let the Kestrel handle it, but the EHR is useless for the wind dope from the Kestrel. So I'd have to us EHR for drop, and regular distance for wind...or enter uncorrected distance and angle manually.
I did mess with Leica's program, compared it to the Kestrel's output....it was off. As I trust Kestrel more, I tried tweaking a couple things in the program (site height, bc, zero distance) and like the other poster, I was able to get basically 'on' out to he 950 it displays vs the kestrel. So the curve can be made to match, but man, I wish Leica would partner with Kestral and AB like Bushnell did. That would be a killer comboI
So in the end, I think I'll end up going with the 2700 instead of the 1600r...my only concern is the 'one curve' thing...I hunt with my sons, whose rifles will not have the same curve....have to think about how that would work exactly. And frankly, not sure how much I can trust Leica's internal calculations when it considers temp and pressure. I trust Kestrel more for this.
After a certain distance, obviously full manual is the way to go (with Kestrel's range card...that means just enter the angle, then look at the distance displayed on the card for your drop and wind) so it's not very cumbersome. Takes 15-20 seconds or so. But shortish range when time is short, getting it all from the RF would be better if I can make that work.
Gotta make a decision as I have to call my contact back tomorrow.
