    Unless you actually have a claim, at which point you'll need to provide evidence of what was in the package and what it was worth, like receipts. I've had to process a couple of claims, they won't pay and you can sue till the cows come home, best of luck.

    Not laws, just company policy, like no shirt, no shoes, no service.

    Note that you will not be covered for loss or damage, as it's out of policy. No reason to pay for insurance.

    Not a crime, but they will not cover any claims for loss or damage due to violation of said policy. They have been known to destroy packages that are out-of-policy when discovered.

    M830r LRF 1535nm

    The 21's will range to 13K yards. They have some 15 functions, like distance and azimuth between two points, height difference between two points, range and height, horizontal range and more. The main driving point is beam size, on the V21's the beam is .3x.7 mil, the Steiner is like the...

    M830r LRF 1535nm

    Both need to back to the factory in Europe for repair. At least the Vectors have a long track record with solid service in both the Army and Marine Corps and 10+ NATO countries. Of all the units I've sold, I replaced one due to a dim display and had one go back to Switzerland for repair after...

    Coriolis Effect?

    At ELR ranges, Coriolis has an effect that is significant and has to be accounted for in some fashion, just as spin drift. The way I describe it in class is this: When the value of SD and CE exceed .1 to .2 mil, it's worth fixing. If you were .3 mil right when zeroing at 100, would you just...

    Looking for mount with windage/elevation adjustments to co-align LRF with a spotting scope

    If it's being rifle mounted, you really want a true WMLRF, like the Vortex or RAPTAR. The standard commercial handheld units are not recoil hardened, you'll likely kill it pretty quick.

    Looking for mount with windage/elevation adjustments to co-align LRF with a spotting scope

    The simple solution is to use an L bracket. Place a QD pad on the short leg for the spotter, then another on the long leg for the LRF. I set my Vector 21 up like this. The QD pads let you set the vertical alignment up with one device and the horizontal on the other. Stays pretty solid, I...

    What is the best electronic target

    There is nothing better. Make a sturdy, non-flexible frame, with precision measurements for the sensors. Calibrate it against your chrongraph. Between the velocities and precision of the group placement, truing is easy.

    What is the best electronic target

    I speak of the Extreme Long Range (XLR) class here at Gunsite. Yes, the target setup need to be precise, Mine are built on Aluminum frames with the mounts drilled on a milling machine, laser measured center-to-center. I've tested mine against a Labradar in Doppler mode downrange and they are...

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    Well, the bullet needs to land somewhere. :)

    2403-yard shot on a can of red bull, sounds like a load of bull.

    A quick bit of math would show that with a .25 MOA rifle, on a 6.125" vertical x 2.25" target, you need a wind call inside .5 feet per second and a velocity inside 2 fps and a range +/- 1 yard, at which point you have about a 30% chance of a hit. That's using a .375 CT with solids at 3200 fps...

    What is the best electronic target

    This ^^^ I use three of these for the XLR class, there are no subsitutes.

    I think I met a long range God today.

    50 of 75? What I want to know is are they on edge, or face on? I shoot them on edge, makes me work on the wind call that much more.

    Optics Vector 21/Nomad Field Firing Solutions Full Deployment Kit

    As long as the Getac has WM on it, or Windows Handheld 8.x you should be fine. I'll make it a microSD card with adapter so you can put it in either machine.
