Re: Vectronix Terrapin = Not Suck
Everyone keeps talking about these bad boys, might have to think about upgrading from my Leica 1600.

Re: Vectronix Terrapin = Not Suck
I was able to play with one at ASC. It seemed like a religious experience seeing 3700 some odd yards on the display at a barn on the other side if the valley.

Re: Vectronix Terrapin = Not Suck
The specs on these says they range up to 2500m. Do they really consistently range up to 4K? How are they at distance on non reflective targets?

Re: Vectronix Terrapin = Not Suck
Took it out yesterday - ran a google map trace on the one item it wouldn't range.
So I got hits on a barn to 3.2km. The next item I could have hit was 6.7km away and it didn't do it in full daylight.
Ranging bad things (dry grass, trees, rocks) out past 2km was easy as could be.
Essentially - take everything you hate about the rangefinder you have (man that thing can't be more than 1km away) and replace it with complete satisfaction within your engagement range (2km for most ELR) and continual amazement at the things it will range past that.

Yes.
No problem.
I ranged a 20" plate at 1750 yards.

That is a very positive review!
My Leica 1200 is a decent unit, but leaves a lot to be desired. I've gotten the chance to play with some Vectronix equipment for a short time, and kinda felt it could use a little more magnification. My Leica is 7X, and I've found that to be a really good compromise.
Your thoughts on this?

I thought the 5x on the Terrapin would be a handicap too, but the glass quality and the small aiming circle more than make up for it.

Rain from what I've see hasn't changed anything for me. I had it range well over 1k yards in pretty heavy rain; wasn't trying for max distance, just happened to get the unit a day where it was raining.
Can't tell you about snow....yet.
