Close to pulling the trigger and have read reviews till I’m blue in the face!!
Any last minute advice from actual users?
After seeing all the used one for sale, it’s giving me cold feet..
 
Love mine! Ranged out to 2267 yds with it this morning. For a commercial 905 nm laser it does a very good job. The only issue I have is the bluetooth to my Kestrel can be buggy but is easily fixed on the fly.
 
Is the beam centered?

That’s my only complaint on the Vortex Fury ABs.

I’ve “mapped” it but it lives the lower left quadrant of the reticle
 
Bluetooth isn't that great, one button operation seems to give up a lot. Nice glass, seems to be really accurate ranging. If I were to do it again I'd just get dedicated binofinders. Not sure where monocular-style rangefinders fit in in 2022
 
So, after about 500 rounds down range on steel from 3” plates at 300 to 8” plates at 800 and 66% IPSC out to 1100 yards the Terrapin has been flawless.

I have had no issues bluetoothing to the Kestrel, other than the little hassle when it goes to sleep and you have to reconnect.
The glass in the X is pretty awesome.. it is much better that my old Swarovski 8x30..

So far I am 100% satisfied!

I mounted it on the Busnell and married the circle in the rangefinder to the crosshairs in the spotter…. Awesome little combo!

I even had Santa do a little spotting.

I had one, good RF. Beam alignment close but not perfect. Good glass. Button a bit difficult for me to operate in cold weather and good gloves. decided I want imbedded software instead of BT to another device. Just too slow working between devices when hunting. Used it in AK this year, got it done but realistically for hunting a dope card on the side of my rifle was better than trying to BT when seconds are all you have.
