    AB Quantum 3.4.4 Vector X, Max Ord, Max Ord Range, Trace & Dialed Elevation Tool.

    This is a good update. I like that the VectorX is finally supported. My gripes with the app are overall very minor. I wish that the TerrapinX could be supported but it’s my understanding that limitation is on the Terrapin, not with AB Q. Thank you for the continual updates and your presence...

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    Coming from the IT world, I fully understand it's not a super easy process. But as an end user, having the same capabilities on the phone as exists on the Garmin is highly desirable. Having all of the devices at once is a super nice to have, but having at the very least the...

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    That is exactly how it SHOULD work. I mean you can connect an LRF and a Kestrel to a Garmin device at the same time. There is literally zero reason you shouldn’t be able to do the same thing on a phone. As I said, I love AB Q, but there are a number of very simple things that you can’t do...

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    Wonder if they will keep the roll mark or pull it all under Ruger? Anderson doesn't have a good, or even decent, reputation. Would make sense to discard the name entirely.

    AB Quantum Major Update 3.3 + Calypso AB Mini

    Agreed! The VECSS app is garbage.

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    Make sure your app is actually updated to 3.4.4. I had to go into the phones App Store and force the upgrade.

    Suppressors 300 blackout sub/super ar suppressor

    Currently I am using a YHM Resonator 2 tucked under the hand guard on a 9" barrel. The action is the loudest part, but it is still hearing safe and from more than a few feet away you can't hear squat. Before changing it to a tucked suppressor I used an SF 300SPS, that may have been marginally...

    It does indeed support the Vector-X. Connected mine last night.

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    carbonbased, you might be the only person I've talked to that actually likes the RC3. I personally find it as the only suppressor I regret buying. I'm honestly not a fan of the flow through design everyone seems to be going towards lately. I'd rather have more sound suppression than less gas...

    Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

    I truly love AB Quantum. It is by far the best ballistics solver I have used bar none. My complaint is with the ecosystem, the same ecosystem that originally pulled me into the AB world. The 1 at a time connection to AB Q is a massive bottleneck and makes the entire system a pain in the ass...

    AB Elite devices are not synchronizing

    The Garmin Chrono does not sync into the AB ecosystem at all. There is no method of doing so. AB Q can only have 1 device connected at once. It's a huge issue as far as I'm concerned, but as of now, that is the way it is. You can connect the Kestrel and the Sig to your watch, as they have...

    Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    I wouldn't mind an FDE option. My AI is already a 50 Shades of FDE as are all of my ARs, for that exact reason you said. If I wanted true consistency I would just spray paint it all myself.

    Area 419 Tactical One-Piece Scope Mount

    Just got in an Area 419 one piece mount and diving board. I am very impressed with it. One of the nicest mounts I’ve ever seen. It replaced a spuhr as even their high diving board wouldn’t let me use the switch on the maztech/magpul WMLRF. I also recently got in a hellfire system. I am truly...

    Suppressor for Precision 16” .223

    OCM5 for sure. It's pretty much the standard for precision AR as far I'm concerned.

    Night Vision NVG Focus Covers: Phokus Hoplite vs Matbock Tastier Eclipse

    I use the cold harbor chad. They are out of Canada but it’s a fairly good product for a reasonable price. Although you do look like Johny 5 with duals. Cold harbor Chad

    Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

    I put an RRS ARCA plate on the bottom of mine and use it to connect to an RRS clamp that I mounted to the top of my slotting scope KDG Optics Hub. Works extremely well. I have an RRS extendible post that I can use as well if I want some more height. Using the ARCA plates/clamps gives endless...

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    I don’t know about faster, trusts seem to take a bit longer than individual but really it’s all a crap shoot as far as timing. The last 20ish I’ve done have been all over the place from the shortest being 30ish hours to the longest being 3 weeks. All of them on SS single shot trusts. It comes...
