Rifle Scopes Mil laser rangefinder

[Bluejazz]

Just switched to mil, and my current lrf does not give me a dial up in mils.
Interested in feedback on what laser range finder to use that does this

WTF? Is this a serious question?

That's because you only think you've switched to Mils. When you get to know Mils you will find that your current rangefinder will accommodate them.

WTF? Is this a serious question?

Yes, it is a serious question.
I have been using a G7BR2 with great success. Just shot a Wyoming mule deer at 841 yards. The rangefinder ranges in yards, and then gives me an MOA reading based on the ballistic information I have previously downloaded into it. However, it does not give me a reading in mils.
Just wondered if there is a rangefinder with this same feature but does it in mils.
Maybe the title of the thread was not worded correctly.

You're probably not going to unless G7 does an update or somebody comes out with one. Your best bet is to continue to range in yards and carry a simple dope chart along with you. If you want to remain dependent on a readout from the rangefinder then your only option is to go back to a MOA scope or convert your drop in moa to mil which kinda defeats the purpose.

 

[Bluejazz]

I kinda figured that would be the case.
I carried a PDA and Kestrel for a number of years, but switched to the BR2, and got spoiled.
Graham,
And you are right, maybe I just think I have switched to mils, as I am still in the learning phase

The Bushnell Fusion Arc 1 Mile does both Mils & MOA

BigJim did a review here with details

If you rely on the readout for holdover from a rangefinder you are relying on data from an internal ballistics program.

If you are using a ballistics program, even a crude one, first make sure that you have correctly entered, at minimum, BC, temp and station pressure, and muzzle velocity.

You can't do any of that with any Bushnell. The Bushnell, even the new one, uses ammo 'profiles' designed for hunters shooting large targets at relatively short ranges.

Thanks for the link, Lowlight,
However does not look like the unit has barometric pressure, altitude, and temp calculations to give you a dial up in mils or MOA.
I will just go back to my PDA, kestrel, and drop chart .

 

[redneckbmxer24]

Didn't know the bushnell had ballistics... interesting.

OP Not sure which scope you are using, but can you get turret cut in yards and mils(yards on top mils on bottom)? The BR2 is supposed to be designed to work with G7 ballistic turrets and offer corrected solutions (HBR-Horizontal Ballistic Range) based on the turret data. So if you have a turret for a 7mm mag, 162 Amax, 6000 ft, 72 degrees, 2900FPS, it wont matter where you are because the BR2 supposedly collects environmental data and makes corrections accordingly(in yards).

If you want to use the reticle to mil and correct, simply dial in the mils.

Range finders were made to tell you range. Range is in yards or meters. Do your input into your ballistics program or charts.
