    D Do you mean 190gr?

    Ok, we spent all day using the binos. This is our observation on connecting a secondary device via Bluetooth; With the app open on your mobile phone, the app takes precedence. Connecting the kestrel to the bino's wont occur. You must close the app to connect the Kestrel. Once the Kestrel is...

    Sorry the info is a little disjointed and going backwards and forwards. Our priority was using the Bino's as they come so we didn't dedicate much time to playing with other devices. Thanks for the check in and the questions @J_D

    Ok, we left the bino's on a tripod outside (it's just dropped to 3°C), and then sat in the car with the Kestrel with the heaters on. The app says input in the bino's is "manual" and doesn't indicate the Kestrel is providing data to the Bino's. In the Bino's menu, it says "sensor" and this...

    It's now working. I think what is happening is that the connection is just a bit clunky at the moment. We struggled to get the tech to talk to each other. When it did, it would only send information one way. We've been playing with it since that last post trying different things. Did a few...

    Secret Service 300 Winchester Magnum Ammo?

    I run the 110s in a blackout. Got invited to shoot some rabbits with a mate and his dad at their farm. I don't think his outrage after my first shot was justified. How was I supposed to know he wanted to eat them?

    Correct; In the device it says "sensor" but you can't flick those over to any other option. On the app it says Manual or Internet for options when the Kestrel is connected and adds "LRF" for when the kestrel is disconnected.

    G'day mate; I got it! I went back and played around with the kestrel/bino's this morning. I managed to get them paired. First up, i thought they broke. It changed all my brightness settings to Night Vision 2.... I couldn't see the display. So that's the hiccup. It appears at this stage that...

    Secret Service 300 Winchester Magnum Ammo?

    Does anyone know what projectile the Secret Service uses in their 300 Win Mag? I've heard rumours that it could be Lehigh Defence 194gr Maximum Expansion Ammunition or a Barnes projectile of some description. Just curious as to how they mitigate Over Penetration with their ammo. Cheers Carso

    Are the US Secret Service using standard Remington 700 actions?

    100%.... Had a MIRS loosen up and and the MARS straight up fall off. Our fault, didn't use loctite, but yeah lol, it's a big seesaw

    Vector X - Just a quick review.

    Thanks mate. The glass comparison is important, but I can't really relate, couple reasons; 1. I don't want to shit talk (compared the Bino's to Safran's own Terrapin X) 2. I don't want people to think that what they have isn't good enough if they already have other options. 3. Clarity and...

    Have to agree on the IMUNS. Personally i like the LOOK of the MARS better.... but IMUNS is superior in every practical way.

    Vector X - Just a quick review.

    Yes, the kestrel links. It took us a while to work this out. The software in the binos and their presentation looks really pro, so i'm guessing there'd be room to upgrade to provide more options like calypso but i'm unfamiliar with this. We had these out again yesterday. Literally left all the...

    Vector X - Just a quick review.

    G'day mate, No, the wind is manually input for both speed and direction but its SUPER simple to do. Almost exactly as you'd manually input for the Kestrel. It's really intuitive with the menu and scroll buttons. If you're confident in your wind (or if you're not and you want to bracket) it's...

    Stiller came in for left handed Mod5s (tentatively called mod 6) which dumped the MARS rail and went for a Badger mount that connected to the front of the chassis to provide Night Fighting and NV capability. The stillers came in under full contract for Mod7

    Vector X - Just a quick review.

    Oh damn i didn't even think of that. If you're glassing, the bino's will be baking. Kestrel will be in your pocket. Very good point. I'm in Australia. It's 2° C and raining so I can't really check that for you sorry but that's an excellent point!
