G7 br2 lrf

[FamilyMan]

Does anybody have any experience or feed back on these units? They are basically a range finder and a ballistic calculator all in one. A couple of the guys I shoot with have em and swear by them. Just trying to get a bit more info on em before I spring for it. Right now I'm running a bushnell 1600ARC. I've been saving for a terrapin but am considering one of these instead.

I am also interested in the G7 BR2 but, I have a Vortex Razor HD EBR-2B which is mrad scope. I really the ballistic function that the BR2 has but, I am wondering if I really need a lrf that does meters? I know I could just convert yards to meters and I am more familiar with the mil relation to meters. I know the rifle scope is not 6400 mils the compass we used in the Army. Wouldn't it be easier to use dope data that is in meters?

This gets so old,

Who cares if your dope is in yards or meters, mils does not mean you use meters.

if your dope for 500 yards is 3.2 mils and your dope for 500 meters is 3.6 mils what difference does it make what you dial on the scope ? It doesn't care.

Mils works with anything, yards, meters, miles, it works the same... using a mil based scope on a yard built range is irrelevant, your dope is your dope, the distance works regardless of the unit of measurement. It doesn't work easier, there is no conversion, that is blatantly false.

Any piece of software will give you it in either. They say the exact same thing only with a different number, because the distance is different.

I can call 500 meters, 10 Lowlights and if my dope for 500m is 3.6 mils and my dope for 10 Lowlights is 3.6 mils who cares, as long I know what 10 Lowlight's equal.

Who ever created this confusion need to hung from the Tower of London.

Thanks for clarifying that to me, because I didn't know it was that simple and it had been already covered.

What Lowlight said. I'd add only that the G7 BR2 is MOA, not Mil based.

I have one and I love it, buy once cry once.

Buy Terapin.

Yeah I decided I am just gonna get the Terrapin instead. It's a shame they don't have a model that will do Mils with all the features cause i think the concept is awesome and the guys i know that use it have had nothing but great things to say about it. Oh well at lest I know with the terrapin I'll always be able to get a range and get the the right range and that's the most important part.

It doesn't really have to matter. It gives you a corrected ballistic solution in yards if you want. I look up the yards (corrected), dial and send it. I actually have my dope printed on a sticker, i.e. a changeable BDC turret. I range it, dial the corrected range (since the BR2 has adjusted for the different DA and angle) and send it. With this workflow, it works very well, and I never reach for a card or worry about my units.

The only drawback to the G7 BR2 is that the beam is not a tiny petite thing like the terrapins. The same competition stages that confuse swaro's confuse the BR2 unless you realize that that stage might just have a trick in it and adjust your ranging scheme accordingly.

ETA: But Bounce is correct, it's MOA units natively, so if you use their wind solution, you would convert. I never do, but did make that same suggestion to the manufacturer. My brain just works mil.

You Da Man,

Now where can I get a scope that measures in LowLights
