Yeah, I would love to have different rifles for the purposes, but at the moment, not really in the tax bracket to have two great rifles. So I'm putting together (hoping) one top drawer gun rather than 2 half measures. If I do go the 3-18 route, any thoughts on the Leica Amplus? I can get a...

Thanks for the replies! The reason I'm trying to get to 70 MOAish is because when I get to Colorado every year, I get the chance to shoot longer. Before Elk season starts, after checking zero, we usually go to a particular canyon and get the chance to shoot out to a mile or more, something I...

I am looking into a scopes for a future mainly hunting build. I looked through various scopes and though the 4-32 NX8 ticks a lot of boxes for me (a little heavy for my general purpose though), my main issue that is ruling it out for me is the reticle. I shoot SFP, and my eyes are not the...

Direction, Environmentals, Wind, and Kestrels In terms of environmental data, the Razor measures direction of fire, angle, temperature, and pressure and feeds that to the onboard solver. Nothing new here. And as I mentioned, it also offers the option of gathering the environmental data from a...

Ranging The ranging on the Fury AB was pretty good, but to be honest, the Razor CRF, at least the unit I had, is clearly stronger, which, considering the much smaller receptor diameter, surprised me. The sensor is basically a horizontal oval with a divergence measurement of 1.5mrad wide and...

A while back, I got a chance to test out a set of Vortex Fury AB binos and was pretty impressed. So when I saw that they had a new CRF in the Razor lineup that included full environmentals, a new ballistics engine, their wind capture system, and some form of a connection to a Kestrel, I was...

Part II Display Another new innovation in the 8k concerns the display. Due to the technology previously utilized in rangefinder displays, what could be output on a screen was limited to a few preset items, and placement of everything was static and the space was exclusive. Like old digital...

Introduction A few years back, Sig made quite a splash with the release of their 2400 ABS CRF. It boasted ranging capabilities that were impressive for its time, if not class leading, but its real competitive advantage was its internal full Applied Ballistics suite, which made it arguably the...

Yeah, for sure, I sometimes have my Kestrel's compass go off, so I have to periodically re-calibrate. That said, I've never had the same problem with the one on my Leicas, so don't know what's up there. Hopefully this one will work more like my Leica. In terms of the mapping, you would have...

Sig released their newest RF, the Kilo 5k, to the market this morning. It is apparently the first in a new line of RF's they will be bringing to market. It has a lot of impressive features pulled from their current lineup including onboard environmentals, continued BDX and Kestrel/Foretrex...

Depends what you mean....the Kestrel can only pair to the RF. But you can pair the RF to the Kestrel and then when you range, the RF will talk to the kestrel, get the solution back and then display that solution in the RF and also light up the appropriate hold in the scope. So if I understand...

I am more of a SFP kind of guy for my hunting rifles, but I would love to see a Tango 6 level of tracking and glass with BDX in it. The only other thing about the Tango line is that they are very heavy, so that weight would have to come down. But if they would build something in the vein of...

For sure, that is really the weakness of the onboard enviros on all of these devices. The Vortex, just like all the others, take too long to update the temp if you are in a hurry. And conversely, they can also drift off due to radiant heating, so if you take the device and set it down for a...

You are welcome, hit me up if you have any questions. I tried to be thorough...and as usual, got a little long winded, but if there is anything that's not in there, let me know and I will answer if I can.

Yes, that's the easiest way...AB calls it 'shooters MOA'. But you also need to make sure of the following.... Coriolis and Aero jump are set to 0...Leica cannot calculate these. Depending on the range, the effect will be small, if you are trying to get to the .1MOA range of agreement out to...
