They are definitely not as powerful as the PLR10’s and 15’sI have only used mine for a short period of time. when I got it, It seemed a little weak to me. It didn't seem as strong as my previous terrapin and PLR15. It was bright and hot out and was ranging foliage, so I will give it another run and see. I am going to set it up beside my buddies PLR10 and compare them side by side.
I have one, it’s a good laser but I’m having a hard time falling in love with it.
Ergonomics with one button or ?
Getting one next week.
I came from the Sig so the size is one problem, single button takes some getting used to but it’s really a non issue. I’ve had a hard time finding a decent carrying case for it.
I had this carrying case for it. It fit perfectly, just had to take that divider out which is Velcro and easily removable.

I sold mine in part because my particular T-X dropped off BT repeatedly and I could not get a Kestrel read. It happened to me enough that I sold it and bought the 2800.com. The BT functionality of the Leica with the 5700 is much more consistent in my experience. I really wanted the T-X to work because I have owned several Vectronix units in the past and they are fabulous.I like mine a lot. It’s much less work to get an accurate range than the other LRFs I have used, and the Kestrel integration is very useful. My pre-stage prep is now to sketch the targets, then hit them with the TerrapinX, look at the Kestrel, and write down elevation & wind.
My only complaint is that Bluetooth sometimes gets messed up, and I have to cycle it on both the TerrapinX and the Kestrel, which would suck on the clock, like at SHTC.
I have a buddy who went with the Leica 2800.com over the TerrapinX due to size. He had an older Terrapin and is satisfied with the performance of the Leica.
Ive had very good readings with mine, like others mentioned the one button op is an adjustment but Im used to it now and have no issues.
@Tony1320 - hope you dont mind me asking a Terrapin question here, but does anyone know if the Terrapin X is recoil rated? Has anyone mounted it to a weapon or tripod setup? If so, any issues? thanks!

Thanks,
That is exactly what I have been looking for.
Have used mine a bunch. I love the accuracy and the angle correction feature for yardage alot.
Only down (and in team matches is a big down) is its super slow. I just cant go click click click to range different parts of target or ground and I find it way way harder to hit the plate over the old terrapin.
I wish the aimin point was more precise. That was the huge plus of old unit.
I like the 8x tho.
Overall like it but with Vortex and Sig coming out with Badass RF binos that cost less, its going to be hard to keep (currently own Steiner 8x RF binos).
My setup for matches I don't need to be on clock thou, the T-X and Swaro 15x is very hard to beat. (Pic is old RF which I sold due to no warrenty. loved that thing)

I run the cheapo Amazon one and it's fine. I took the hex-key screws out.Which plate is that on bottom? RRS cinema plate or cheap amazon one?
That’s the last piece I need for my similar setup.
