    Good Range finder for the money?

    Re: Good Range finder for the money? You mean 1000 yards every time, not on the best day, right? So you probably need something with nominal range exceeding the 1000 yard range. If you go with Zeiss, Leica or Swarovski, you can be sure they will do it. My Leica 1600 is sweet, although it...

    Re: What is the best bolt action to get in .338 Lapua? Is it your first bolt action long-range rifle? .338LR could be a tad too much.

    Rifle Scopes Please describe S&B tunneling.

    Re: Please describe S&B tunneling. I have the same scope. I normally shoot at 8 power, but when I need to go lower (not very often), I just very slightly adjust position of my head. The scope has a parallax setting, so I can't see a problem. Or am I wrong?

    kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software.

    Re: kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software. You can also enter multiple MVs for a load at different temperatures - it is either MV or drop truing under the given conditions. Like I said, the manual doesn't describe it very well, you have to play with it and find out.

    kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software.

    Re: kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software. I have seen in at matches here and it made the decision for me. I wanted just the Kestrel 4500, but after seeing it in action I decided to go all the way. The screen is small, but for displaying the solution it is fine. For the OP: it...

    kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software.

    Re: kestrel 4500 with Horus ATrag Ballistics software. With the Kestrel 4500 with Horus Atrag you don't need a chrono. There is a function called "drop truing" and in allows you to "teach" the machine how your ammo performs in actual atmospheric conditions. I don't think you cannot do...

    Kestrels customer service

    Re: Kestrels customer service To the OP: great service. I wish they straightened out the guys at Horus, Horus customer service is just horrible, they don't give a damn about us. Plus the Horus manual is a sad joke. With a 600 dollar unit I would expect something better.

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt Bender PMII 12-50x56 P4 Fine.

    Re: Schmidt Bender PMII 12-50x56 P4 Fine. I have the 5-25x56 with the P4F reticle and I love the reticle. At 25x it is still pretty fine even at long ranges, but I shoot mostly on 8x even at 1000m matches. Only at certain competitions, where I need to distinguish among small targets I use the...

    Leica 1600 vs Leupold RX-1000i DNA rangefinder

    Re: Leica 1600 vs Leupold RX-1000i DNA rangefinder Have the Leica Rangemaster 1600 and I am very happy with it. If you don't want to use the ballistic program, it will still give you inclination, temperature and station pressure. I checked the readings with my Kestrel 4500 and it was always...

    Rifle Scopes S&B P4f or Premeir gen2 5-25...which scope?

    Re: S&B P4f or Premeir gen2 5-25...which scope? I have a PMII P4F and love it. My shooting buddy has a Premier Heritage, so I could check them side by side, even during night shoots. Both are great scopes, I would dare to say equals in optical quality. I like the pronounced clicks on half-...

    Kestrel Weather Tracker with Horus ATrag Ballistic

    Re: Kestrel Weather Tracker with Horus ATrag Ballistic Its a good device, but the manual for the Horus ATrag part is inadequate and you have to figure out certain things. The controls are rather well thought out and it is a matter of the speed of your fingers, really.
