Link to kestrel. It Bluetooth connects and runs off the ab solution, which is sent back to your Leica display. I have used several times but don’t generally need it. The Leica pro has a different set up and gives solutions further which something I’ve considered to not pack the kestrel. I rarely...

Your 32’s should link. Mine do. The ballistic program is basic for sure but it’s good data if you just add your own data into the mix. For example knowing sd, ce, and wind factors….. I’ve killed a pile of yotes and wolfs from 500 - 900. Past that I’ve used the kestrel but usually just switch to...

That’s the key…. Glass need. If you need good glass the Leica is hard to beat overall. If glass is not that important to you then other options are worth the look. It really depends on how much time you spend behind the glass and realistic range you can effectively make kills. For me the Leica...

Do you think it’ll be easier to use? I think it has more user specific features for set up but not sure it’ll be easier per say. Leica seems super easy. I’ve read glass is so so on the revic.

Yepper. I have 3 bolt heads and 2 chassis. I can put together just about any configuration I need in a few minutes. It's feature rich, machined well, and in the end, its everything I need and want.

I am a big fan of switch barrel set ups. I run a bighorn action just for that reason and have no plans to do anything different. I run a chassis with folder for compact carry and transport, rifle with suppressor is 8lbs 14 oz or just over 8 lbs with no can. I run short barrels with can's so...

I guess I think of the bighorn and figured it is the perfect action for the modern rifleman. It seems to blend most of the good attributes and few of the bad into a configurable prefit action.

Flyers suck. They can be a pain to track down since there a lot of things that can create them. I trust you are an experienced reloader and shooter so I won’t thrown out a pile what ifs and distract the post. I know for me that big of a group and a flyer is going to be ammo related issues so...

Stability issues have a bit more to do with long range/down range performance as you near the transonic zone and the bullet is slowing down significantly. You'd have to be way out of whack to get a significant group size change. Your flyer is either shooter induced or rifle induced. I had a...

204 running 39/40 grainers at 3980 is an easy button. My 15” pistol runs them at 3480. For yotes it’s a simple one for me if I’m not packing my prc.

I have a couple of kestrels and do not use them much. I am happy with an APP for comps like shooter or AB and yes the kestrel is fine for that, just too slow for hunting for me. For hunting I spent the money on a leica 3200 and cannot see myself ever changing back to a LRF, APP, Bino, meter. I...

MDT has some really nice chassis for the savage.

Not sure how many times I've used mine at this point, A LOT. I decided to try and use it in the field and stuck it my back pack. It's compact and light enough to not be a concern packing while hunting predators and then also taking the time to practice my wind call shots and positional...

Probably should contact my friend for a good hunt that won't stress you too much. He's an idaho outfitter and has an awesome lodge you can stay at.

I don't think the entire area is a no shoot zone, more likely its that spot. Generally where I hunt there is plenty of places that are good, fine, ok, meh, not great, ummmmm, oh thats not going to happen. That could all be in a 5 mile hike. Back to the original post: Solo hunting is a...
