Rifle Scopes LRF ???

[skinney_7]

i recently attended a gun show a couple weeks ago, and had a guy telling me about a 1200.00 LRF that would range over 2000M, he said it was on a brochure he got from the horus vision website, i can't find it... anyone have any more info on this, or just another guy who's full of it.

Re: LRF ???

That is some good stuff right there...

Would that work with a Vectronix Vector IV?

Re: LRF ???

i got a pair on newcons from a guy on ebay and i was not at all pleased with the quality, maybe they were an older model or used and abused, what did you pay for yours? whats the model? i have hit trees @ 1100M with my Leupold RXBIV's, but want something that will do 2000M.

Re: LRF ???

Horus ATrag runs with the PLRF's and the Moskito. If you use the Vectors, Field Firing Solutions uses them, plus the Newcons, STORM, RULR, and PLRF's, the Moskito is being added. I just finished some testing of the newest feature which creates targeting files as the target is ranged, assuming you have a current GPS or map position set.

Re: LRF ???

A gal on bay couple years back had many for sale, picked up 2 at $350 each (STEEL!!) - one went to my shooting bud

Normaly ? $900+ or so, http://www.newcon-optik.com/laser_binoculars.html

In very bright light the only do as well as my Leica, but normaly it ranges very well. (they are kind of heavy)

Re: LRF ???

Pat whats the glass like on you newcon's compared to your leica's.

Re: LRF ???

Glass has a slight yellow to it, not bad. My Leica is a monocular, glass is good but the Newcon 50mm obj will gather a lot more light than the Leica's 20mm obj

The Leica's go with me hunting and when i'm loaded and weight is an issue, Newcon's usualy stay in the truck or shooting line.

I'm sure the Leica Binos kick ass for lens and clearity though.

Re: LRF ???

You must be shooting 50 BMG to need ranging at 2000m.

Need to do some checking on this system...anyone out there using it?

The only thing that would be better would be to have the rifle dope readout inside the ranging device when you mark your target.
