    Kestrel products discussion thread / Horus Kestrel

    Re: Kestrel products discussion thread / Horus Kestrel Hi, I have a 4500 with Horus ATrag. I think for an instrument with so many features the manual could be more detailed. Specifically I was trying to enter second value for MV and "drop-true" and I had some issues. I contacted Kestrel and...

    which weather meter/ballistics calculator?

    Re: which weather meter/ballistics calculator? Like people above, I would recommend the Kestrel 4500/Horus combo, especially if you shoot such long distances. I use it and am 100% happy.

    Horus Ballistic Kestral

    Re: Horus Ballistic Kestral When you're truing, you simply adjust the BC, until the Clicks agree with reality. It is not described very well in the manual, it took me some time to figure it out. So, if the Horus gives you a certain number of clicks at a certain distance and the hit is not...

    Kestrel model help

    Re: Kestrel model help I've been in the same position and went through pretty much the same options. In the end I went for the option 5 - Kestrel with Horus + Range and Angle (Leica 1600) I decided to go for Option 5 because I've seen the Kestrels with and without the Horus at matches and...

    Cleaning your rifle

    Re: Cleaning your rifle I clean the chamber and the locking lugs after every shooting session, the bore after every few hundred rounds. An exception is if I am out in heavy rain, then I clean it thoroughly.

    Kestrel model help

    Re: Kestrel model help I was in the same situation a year ago. I was leaning towards the 4000 model, but at a competition several guys told me to cough up the extra money and get the 4500 with Horus - "You will not regret it". I followed the advice and I am very happy. I shoot so-called...

    Question regarding SAKO TRG scope mount

    Re: Question regarding SAKO TRG scope mount I use it 3 years and never had a problem. Screws are tight as on the first day. I am not saying other mounts are not great as well - like the SPUHR. But if you want to keep it as "factory" as possible, you will not be disappointed. I like how low...

    Question regarding SAKO TRG scope mount

    Re: Question regarding SAKO TRG scope mount The mount is perfect and there is no problem to zero at any distance. I use it with S&B PMII and shoot at competitions at 25 to 1000 meters without any problem. Mike, above, is wrong... it is NOT POS.

    Gelati deluxe Shooters Mat fro Sako TRG 22?

    Re: Gelati deluxe Shooters Mat fro Sako TRG 22? The manufacturer states the total length of 48"/122cm. My rifle is exactly 122cm long, so it is tight.

    Gelati deluxe Shooters Mat fro Sako TRG 22?

    Re: Gelati deluxe Shooters Mat fro Sako TRG 22? Thanks, guys. I wasn't concerned with the diameter, but with the total length. Judging from the pictures the diameter should be OK. I will see if I can get the Elite model, that is a good recommendation. Thanks everyone for the info and experience.
