    300 Norma

    I can't help you on this one since I went the Accuracy International AXSR route. But I'll follow along and learn what I can.

    It wasn't the first or second shot, but it was the last

    I can understand the factory trigger guard breaking, but it was quite amazing or amusing that the trigger broke too! At least now he has an excuse to invest in some sort of upgrade! Nice photos.

    “Down” Elevation Turret Travel

    Common problem with shooting to 1 mile and most everyone I know including myself had to learn this too. Getting 40 MOA will get you sorted. Enjoy!

    Kestrel Factory Reset Mid Match

    I have noticed that when you reset a Kestrel 5700 it will default to meters for distance. I recall other defaults that I need to change too. It would be a good experiment to reset at home and make a checklist of all the items that need to be reconfigured after a total reset to get your same...

    New Long Distance Shooter

    Welcome Mark. A couple of years ago when I lived in NC, I had access to a 1-mile target. I had success connecting with non-magnum rifles in 260 and 308 cal, but I wanted a rifle that could hit the 1-mile target more consistently. I ended up with a 300 Norma Magnum shooting 230gr Sierra or...

    Input known range data into a Kestrel

    Just go to the “Tgt” field and use left and right arrows to change the distance. Holding down goes faster.

    kestrel elite 5700 ab problems, what am i doing wrong

    I have 2 Kestrel Elite 5700s that are identical other than color. I noticed one day that both gave me different solutions for a 1-mile target, and I could not find any settings different. Ultimately, I discovered they were calculating slightly different environmental data, and I had to...

    Magnum caliber truing distances

    I would not change a thing either what that data! Your post made me smile because like you, my 300 Norma Magnum has been very consistent out to 1 mile for me, and I trued the Kestrel at 1,200 meters only because that was the longest truning bar I had available to me. I have not done the math...

    Terrapin X case

    @USMC22 I did pick one of these up (link below) and it does fit the LRF perfectly but no room for Kestrel. http://www.tyrtactical.com/products/details/range-finder-wind-meter-pouches/tyr-tactical-cm005/ If you only care about holding the Terrapin then it might be for you. However now...

    Safety Warning for Berger 77 grain OTM: Pressure Testing Update

    Glad they will replace the ammo. It is concerning that they have had a couple reports. Normally that would trigger a recall in most industries. I have lot #: P002745-3. I don't know how Berger uses the -1 or -3. I think I'll hold off on shooting this for a bit. Thanks for the report!

    LRA Bipods gone for good?

    Today I ordered some parts directly from the LRA website and noticed the credit card was billed to Telos Soltuions Inc. According to the about page on the website: In 2018, David sold Long Range Accuracy to Larry Cole and Clif Wilson. Both come from precision manufacturing and engineering...

    Kestrel connection problem with Terrapin X

    Thanks! Auto Store was turned on! I've reset the interval to 1 hour and turned it off in Memory Options as suggested. Appreciate the insight. BTW I'm using the new Kestrel LiNK app on iPhone and it does use the term "Device Sync Rate" which I have set to 2 sec as recommended. The legacy...
