Ugh! So I know how to do the basics on this, but it's a Ferrari when I'm looking for a Chevy. I got the BlueTooth hooked up to the app, but all the ballistics stuff is still over my head. I'm going to continue to sell it. Thank you all for trying to help me out with it.
@winmag thank you for your post! I went out to Leica and discovered that there is a 338 page Instruction Manual - that was not included with my rangefinder. It turns out that all I received was the Quick Start Guide. I’ve contacted Leica and they are sending me one. In the meantime I was...
OK, so I'm giving the 2800.COM another chance. There's still too much stuff to it, but I'm RTFM and going to watch a couple of YouTubes to try and figure it out. There's this red Secondary Button on it (button #1), but the manual doesn't say anything about it. For the life of me, I can't find...
UPDATE: I got the Skinner Express sight in brass and it looks beautiful. I also got the Talley Quick Disconnect Scope Rings and decided to go with the Leupold VH-5HD 1-5x24 with the Firedot reticle. I just ordered the scope today. It was a little more than the VX-3HD, but from all accounts...
My wife got me this for Christmas (I picked it out and paid for it LOL). I did a poll on which rangefinder to get, and everyone recommended the Leica. Well, I bought it and took it out it the backyard and am confused as all get out. It's WAY more than what I need - or understand. All I want is...
He manually timed it as it is a one piece. He cerakoted it to be same color. He did not taper it.
i shot 80 rounds through it of different ammo wearing just a tee shirt; I could have shot all day.
UPDATE: what a huge difference with the muzzle brake. The 30-06 even with the BuffaloBore ammo was like shooting a.22LR. Can’t wait to put one on my 45-70.
OK, so I'm getting that I can do 300 yards IF I DO MY JOB. The Leupold scope and the CDS system will give that distance. Now I gotta do my part. Thanks all!
No, it's a round barrel 0.723" in OD. Those aren't photos of my actual gun.
Here's the actual model (kinda). I just noticed that the muzzle on my actual rifle goes another 1.8" past the end of the reloading knob. My gunsmith will move the front sight back which will allow for him to thread...
100 rounds arrived today, so maybe I'll take it out to the range and give it a go on the iron sites. I just ordered this but won't get here until next week:
With it I can add a scope. I'm planning on the Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5X20 CDS-ZL ILLUM. FIREDOT TWILIGHT HUNTER
So now that you know...
Upcoming moose hunt in Canada. Outfitter tells me pretty much all shots are <300 yards, with most being much closer than that. Planning on taking my Browning BAR 30-06 for the hunt, but man, do I want to hunt with this. Just don't want to lose out on a 200+ yard bull though. Decisions...
I purchased a Henry Classic 45-70 side gate. It arrived and I've got some ammo inbound. To me it's such a classic rifle; one I've always wanted. Looking forward to shooting it soon. It got me thinking though, it's 150+ year old rifle, and the ballistics beyond 150 yards are iffy at best...
