Doc, I have a few questions about the android app with my kestrel ab:
How will this help me to have on android also vs just using kestrel?
Difference between ab android and kestrel companion? (I am not LE or mil)
How to get kestrel companion?
Thanks. Great thread.
Just received my nightforce beast and felt same way as OP. Nice but not the wow I expected. Nice functions. Have no problem with the .25 moa lever.
I get that experts will "see" things that inexperienced people like me won't. But I took the Beast outside at dusk with an old leupold vx 2 3-9...
Meant the throw lever slides to add the 1/4 moa. What if u slide the lever halfway? Will it be adding none to turret setting or 1/4 or since halfway will it add 1/8?
Just got my new nightforce beast and I am impressed. Nice glass. Very clear. Wondering if the .250 moa throw lever is a on - off or if move halfway will that get 1/8 moa adjustment?
Rbdub474,
Thanks for the help. I decided to order a nightforce beast. Right or wrong that's what I went with. Supposed to be about 6 weeks so I must have gotten in on this pretty good. Ordered from Jay at sports optics. Very helpful and nice guy. I have also had good luck with triad tactical on...
Anybody have suggestions for best place to buy new Vortex Razor Gen 2? Also, what are some reputable providers of other long range accessories like shooting mats, AntiCant device, etc.?
Should I go for 3-18 or 4.5-27 power? Main uses is long range target to about 1000 yards, long range steel and LR hunting varmints to med size animals.
Sounds like a lot of us new Kestrel users would love to see a detailed how to really utilize this tool. I have had nothing but good to say about this unit and the service I have had from NK in getting it up and running. Had a bluetooth issue that kept getting me "too many nak's" error when...
Also, I am trying to understand weather and this Kestrel at same time. From what I now am hearing about Kestrel is that it measures station press (right where I am at). So when go to "weather" side of Kestrel will read BP adjusted for sea level unless set ref alt to 0? And from "AB" side always...
Ok that is what I was hoping it meant! Thanks for the info. I have not yet changed the ref altitude to 0. On the weather side of the Kestrel usually reads about 2960 range now and from AB side (station Pressure) about 2860. My local elevation about 1100 above sea level. Sound about right?
Does the impeller have to be removed at first to calibrate compass? I didn't and it seems fine. Other reason to remove?
Also, I know the manual says for the AB program will use station pressure yet the dope continually changes as you hold kestrel. So that makes me think it is gathering weather...
Waiting on new rifle due about Fall or so. Been stocking up on loading equipment but lots on backorder. Wanting to know neck O.D. of loaded round for 6.5 creedmoor with both nosler and hornady brass to get the correct bushings for redding FL type s dies and to know for comparison of new rifle...
