The second longest kill shot was a mile again by a different sniper in Iraq,again took 3 shot,go do this.They even tried going out with retired army personal to practice these 2 shots it has not been repeated as to the date of the film I watched.so it's hard to believe a deer rifle can do close to a 50 cal.
Dont count on every Lecia 1600 B ranging to 2100 yards. Some will , some want. Just like Swaro rangefinder. Guys on Snipers Hide , have them hitting large rocks at 2200-2300 yards. I have owned 2 differnt Swaros and neather hit father than 1900 yards. Some times you get a good one , sometimes you get a great one. Just luck off the draw. I have hit 5400 yards with the Vector 4. Vectronics claims Vector 4 will hit 7000 yards. I dont doubt this is possible, on a steady tripod with a highly refelective target. I can get 3000 yards plus just free hand it. Bushnell 1 mile does fair. I had 1 that would hit large rocks out to 2000 yards. For 699 its a good binocular/rangerfinder. BUT you may have to send 1 or 2 of them back to get a 1 mile unit. had a friend that had new 1 mile Bushnells that never hit past 1500 yards , no matter what. thumbup
