    Precision Rifle Gear Looking for info on old Wilcox RAPTAR with external AB Module

    Turned the older model LRF systems into AB Elite. The Rapid Engagement Module. Was utilized by some units until they got the better tools. Their was a REM 100 and REM 200. One being a scope mount integration that allowed you to use any clip on without adding a lot of extra to the rifle system...

    Kestrel 5700 Elite AB vs Leica Geovid Pro with AB

    I don't use rechargeable but temperatures below freezing damage rechargeable lithium ion batteries across the board. This is well known enough that home backup batteries have a heating system and will not provide power if the battery drops below 40 degrees internally.

    Correct. Those are the same thing.

    Kicking around the .375 E to replace 50 cal. in the ELR-SR role.

    Depends on the purpose/mission. I would say no in this application. Especially since we have more room to add goodies in the 375 for other needs.

    Kestrel 5700 Elite AB vs Leica Geovid Pro with AB

    I have had nothing but trouble with Duracell. Had a pack of their batteries go bad, un-opened. Thought it was fluke... Had it happen again a month later... Never will I buy them again.

    Kestrel 5700 Elite AB vs Leica Geovid Pro with AB

    Lithium batteries will perform "better" in the extreme colds. If the difference is worth the added cost is a personal experience and depends on just how cold. But some Lithium brands are good to -40 degrees F.

    Kicking around the .375 E to replace 50 cal. in the ELR-SR role.

    It is true. They had the rifle out at the last couple shows. The MRADELR. The 375 EnABELR is already down range and in active service. https://barrett.net/products/firearms/mradelr/ The .375E version will be available for purchase in about 2 months.

    Kestrel 5700 Elite AB vs Leica Geovid Pro with AB

    I would say yes. You will get 95% of the total upgrade. I have not noticed a heavy strain on the batteries, but I replace ALL batteries once per year on my birthday week. I mean all of them. Alarm sensors, smoke detectors, optics, lasers..... All the batteries everywhere. It is a good habit...

    Kestrel 5700 Elite AB vs Leica Geovid Pro with AB

    The Leica Geovid Pro AB+ come with Elite on them plus more that you cannot get (at least not at this time) with the Geovid Pro upgrade.

    Going into match blind

    If it is a flat based bullet use the G1, if it is a boat tail use the G7. If you have the option, run a CDM for the best accuracy. The closer you can get to 600 yards on sight in the more confidence you will have when you confirm the predictions.

    The glass is a major part of the upgrade. The Gen 1 and Gen 2 glass don't compare.
