What was changed with the "new" Kestrel 5700?

 

[Kyskeet]

Mostly, replaced the Sportsman and is updatable to the Elite. Price $399

Thanks, just compared the specs via the Kestrel Ballistics Compare Chart and it looks like the new model is a lite edition

 

[Kyskeet]

I bit on it due to getting the unit and start using it while breaking the purchase of the elite version into to smaller bites rather than one big bite

I didnt know that they where hard to come by. My local LGS called me when he got them a couple weeks ago. I was at the shop that afternoon cash in hand.

Hi @footsteps, the factory/office is closed today because of snow, (we're in PA and getting dumped on right now). We restarted production of 5700s yesterday and are working through the back-orders so yours should be shipping soon. Sorry for the delay but I'm glad you're excited to get it. We worked hard to make it a great unit. If you direct message me with an email address I'll make sure Rachel gets back to you with info about your order.

 

[footsteps]

Didn't realize newest Kestrel 5700 was shipping standard with an on-board "time travel" option. Or is that a new UPS "preferred customer" only function?

LOL, referring to the "@1113 HOURS TODAY 10/11/18" timestamp.

Make sure to let us know what condition it arrives in!

 

[footsteps]

Date stamp update lol looks like it's arriving today looking forward to learning about all the technology involved with shooting long range. Well worth the wait for sure.
