If you sky load and then have an ND or AD with your muzzle pointed over the berm, backstop, hill, or whatever else it is, can you guarantee that bullet isn't going to strike something 3 miles down range you don't want it to? The answer is no, you can't. So unless you're using the safety on a...

I don't use scan mode either. Just my opinion, but I don't think you're going to be able to come off the scope and get your data before it's sending the next ping, and now you don't know where the rifle was pointed when that info comes up. But to answer your question. Based on my...

I'll let him fill in the details. He's still doing some testing, but I wanted to "clear the air" of my previous post. Basically, I think any rechargeable RCR123a will work. They seem to operate at a slightly higher voltage.

I think it's safe to say you can buy one with no worries. Scott sent me some rechargeable batteries to try and they kept the unit running for nearly 10hrs in near 0 temps. As usual, Scott and Vortex were outstanding in their customer service. Never once did he doubt the issue and went to great...

It was about 30* over the weekend and it stayed running for 45+ min using warm batteries and individual ranges. The low bat came on like Scott mentioned but it didn't shut down. I changed the batteries out of caution so I don't know how long it would have went. We have some near zero weather...

I've played with both versions and I would not objective mount either one unless you absolutely had to. Reason being is that the rear display is in the body of the scope and the lenses are housed in a separate section that is screwed onto the body. Objective mounting stresses the connection...

A couple short-ish answers and I'll PM with more details. 1. I can't speak for 260284, but mine "double ranges" in the cold. I'll hit the remote, pause for a second, look down and see a dark screen that briefly flashes, goes black again and then pops up a range for whatever the rifle has moved...

Just turned on with the remote linked up. I ranged maybe 10-15 things. After it shut down the first time, I waited a few minutes and was able to power it up and and it ran about 5 minutes before powering down again. I repeated that cycle a few times until it would only power on long enough to...

Update on battery life. I was out with a buddy in 25*f temps last night and both units shut down on low bat after 15 minutes. The Panasonic battery in mine had ~4hrs of use in +45* temps. His was brand new. We put in fresh Surefire's from my ammo bag in the back of the truck and quickly had...

Sounds like the shutter isn't closing when it nucs. Have you tried to do a manual NUC when it screws up? (Short press on the button forward and right of the power button) If all else fails, nuc it with the lens cap closed. Also, and don't quote me on this. I believe there are some auto and...

Currently, IDK. But Midway and Grafs have both had some in the last couple weeks.

@Ledzep It looks like the 22cal's are becoming available. How far behind are the 6.5's?

@Tyler Kemp What do you think about designing something flexible that snapped over the sides of the unit and laid over the buttons to provide better feel? It could be X shaped to follow the plastic in-between the buttons with a nipple under the center to depress the fire button. I'm...

I've put about 50 of them down a Bartein 4 groove 8 twist also. No issues.

This 80% worked well for me on the 3rd brightness level at night. It's about impossible to read the display with it applied in sunlight though. FLANCCI LED Light Blocking...
