RaptorFuel;30Anyone know when EuroOptic will get a shipment of terrapins in? I back ordered one in January. Last I heard was early march.[/QUOTE said:
Mile High is shipping mine tomorrow
I just picked mine up from Mile High tonight. It's amazing.
I'm using the black soft shell that came with it. Even has room for extra batteries. I purchased a small pelican for it as well, just haven't decided which case I want to use.
the soft case works well on the belt with binoculars around the neck elk hunting - at least when your spotting
Here's a thread with some good ideas for a Terrapin case:

TYR Tactical? Communications Pouch - MSS (PLRF05/ Kestrel/ Whiz Wheel) | TYR Tactical - Plate Carrier, Body Armor, Tactical Gear, Tactical Armor
I like this the best of all the styles I've tried. The Kestral is seperated from the Terrapin and the Whiz wheel is a smart back up, mechanical/electronics fail at the worst times.

call potomic river group. they may be able to still order one for you.
Mine was delivered today from MHSA. Really nice unit.
A little over a decade ago I bought a Fish Pond Back Pack w/a Front Chest two storage compartment (one is slightly larger and both are separated compartments with individual zippers that has carried my Swarovski SLC 7x42 Binoculars and my laser rangefinder in the front half. It's been all over East Africa, Zimbabwe, Alaska, the Rocky Mountains, Labrador, Newfoundland, as well as a tactical match. Works great, it's always in front for easy access and I never have to take my Backpack off the fetch my binoculars or my Tarrapin. It came with extra buckles that I have attached to another full size hiking back pack.
Wow, I'm so glad I bought one of these last year. Actually, the Canadian company I bought it from was nice enough to include a 4000 series Kestrel for free with the purchase...... Ya Babe!
Does anybody make a rubber cover for the terrapin like the PLRF-10 has? I've been thinking about spraying plasti-dip on it but if theres some sort of cover I would rather go that route.
Get'em while they're hot!: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...rrapins-stock-fde-color-only.html#post3030426
In at mile high. Thanks for the heads up.
There is no rubber armor avaliably for them. The plast dip is probably a good route though. should just peal off if you dont want it on there any more.
Ordered one today from Mile High. Great to deal with!
March 31st is the last day to get in on the Ashbury Offer for Vectronix Lasers that have been discontinued

I received mine today and what a sweet unit. If you are remotely on the fence and can swing one of these, jump and jump fast. You will not be disappointed.
I was at my boys wrestling tournament and didn't get home until late and llike a little kid I couldn't wait to check it out. I stood on the front porch and ranged some oil storage tanks at 2781 1st try at night. Something my Swaro couldn't do in the best of conditions.

Same. Just ranged a stand of trees at 1472 yds and another at 1535 yds in a steady rain. Amazing.

Just called before I read this post and got basically the same story.
I put in an order for one. Working part time and charging it to a credit card is a bad business and financial practice, but a bit in interest versus the next higher up unit at $5000 makes it worth it to me. If a few months later a bigger better unit comes along at the same price, I will have shot myself in the foot.
Dont worry not going to happen. You got yourself a unit that will last a lifetime and out range most common shooting systems
i wouldnt worry, thats why they are discontinuing it, it was robbing sales from the more expensive units. anything new will be either less performance or more money for something with more features. terrapins are a great value for sure.
Maybe if they do put out a new model it will have an inclinometer, but doesn't sound like they have plans to do so.
was out by the water this afternoon and decided to bring the range finder along:
Free hand and hitting just the top of the light house, i could see it clearly, just hard to get the iphone lined up and focused, not bad for half the weight and size of a vector:

Now that is impressive. Time to break out the short range STS missiles.
Here is the pouch from Mystery Ranch. The Terrapin fits perfectly and the quality is fantastic.

how is the padding on the MR. is it sill soft sided or are the sides hard. for the cost of a terrapin, i dont know that I want a soft side unless it's super padded

I agree flounder I wish there was something like the otter box for I phone for the terrapin
I was looking at something like a hard case for mine. I don't know how many times I have broken things in soft pouches. I definitely don't want to land on this wrong while running around in the woods or something and have my terrapin get crushed. I just wonder if this case from Tactical Tailor would be large enough?

Yes, the TT case should fit no problem. The Terrapin is right at 5"x4"x2" with the eye cup folded. That is a good option, you will even have room for a little added padding inside.
i use a small pelican case.
it is the perfect size
What Pelican model is that-- my guess is an 1120 (7.25 x 4.75 x 3.06 inside dimensions)?
i have no idea there is no marking. Bought it 20 years ago.
I recently purchased a Terrapin from APO. They asked If I could post my thank you letter on their facebook page and I told them I don't have fb. So I'll post it here.
To the Ashbury Group and Michelle Pitts
I would like to take the time to acknowledge the exceptional service I received when doing business with your company over the past few weeks. I made the move to purchase a Vectronix Terrapin because they are being discontinued. I was very surprised with the flexibility in which Michelle was willing to work with me in order to make this rather large purchase as easy as possible for me. She went out of her way to keep me updated and on top of the situation as the event progressed, and progress it did. I was absolutely astonished when I received the email about the PLRF-10 upgrade offer for military and law enforcement. This bestowed an opportunity for me that would only be possible through Ashbury's dedication to providing top notch gear and top notch service. I thank you sincerely, you have a customer for life.
Best regards to Michelle and the Ashbury Team

That is the 1120, I have one in OD green. The newer ones have just a little bit of padding in the bottom and on the lid. With the Terrapin in its case, it does fit very well.
What is this "upgrade offer"? First I have heard of it.

Apparently there was a huge rush for Terrapins because of the announcement. I placed an order but had it held for a month because I was going to a shoot in Oklahoma. During that time it seems like there were more orders placed than actual terrapins available, so APO made good on their end by offering me a PLRF-10 for the price of the Terrapin. I'm not sure if I"m the only one that received this offer but I could of never justified 3600$ for the PLRF-10. For me it was a once in a life time chance. Thanks again APO.
Here's the email from APO.
