LiamG Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 i recently picked up the new rangefinder as i have named above. its been a pretty groggy day here quite hazey and a little rain. so i switched on the rain setting on the rotary menu , but i can only really range out too 700 yards , i tryed too range a large peice of aluminium that was beyond 700 yards but all i get is the dashes on the screen give a flash but no figures come up. any ideas what the problem maybe be? liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 If you dont hold it very still it wont get a reflection back, at that sort of range then a reading off something like a tree near the target might be as much as you can get. You should though get a good return from Ali. Mine (Leica 1200) works in the dark OK but does not like mist or fog. In fog it wont go as far as I can see.

Jingzy Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I had a leupold RX before and it was not reliable at giving distances at all. The warranty also lasts 12 months, there may be a reason for this unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
