Direction, Environmentals, Wind, and Kestrels In terms of environmental data, the Razor measures direction of fire, angle, temperature, and pressure and feeds that to the onboard solver. Nothing new here. And as I mentioned, it also offers the option of gathering the environmental data from a...

Ranging The ranging on the Fury AB was pretty good, but to be honest, the Razor CRF, at least the unit I had, is clearly stronger, which, considering the much smaller receptor diameter, surprised me. The sensor is basically a horizontal oval with a divergence measurement of 1.5mrad wide and...

A while back, I got a chance to test out a set of Vortex Fury AB binos and was pretty impressed. So when I saw that they had a new CRF in the Razor lineup that included full environmentals, a new ballistics engine, their wind capture system, and some form of a connection to a Kestrel, I was...

I had no problems with mine in the cold. I slept outside with it in the teens and left it in the truck as well every night when temps were at or below freezing. That said, each day got to or above freezing eventually, so maybe if you left it there for a few days? Can't say, but I did not have...

You are welcome, I am glad it was helpful!

Fellow Texan, where are you located?

You are welcome!

Part II Display Another new innovation in the 8k concerns the display. Due to the technology previously utilized in rangefinder displays, what could be output on a screen was limited to a few preset items, and placement of everything was static and the space was exclusive. Like old digital...

Introduction A few years back, Sig made quite a splash with the release of their 2400 ABS CRF. It boasted ranging capabilities that were impressive for its time, if not class leading, but its real competitive advantage was its internal full Applied Ballistics suite, which made it arguably the...

Here are a couple quick ones. The second is to show the QDs in the left side of the stock and hopefully a better rendition of the color

Selling my 300 win mag Accuguard to fund a new build. This is the original Accuguard when they were a limited run item, not a regular catalog item. It has a 24" barrel and is lighter than what is listed for the current Accuguard IIRC. Barrel has an estimated 850 rounds through it and shoots...

Sig released their newest RF, the Kilo 5k, to the market this morning. It is apparently the first in a new line of RF's they will be bringing to market. It has a lot of impressive features pulled from their current lineup including onboard environmentals, continued BDX and Kestrel/Foretrex...

Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review Part V Warranty Vortex built its position by having the best warranty in the business. And that does not stop with the Fury. Like everything Vortex sells, it’s covered for life with their no-fault warranty. While that’s reasonably impressive for the optics, but...

Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review Part IV Kestrel Connection The only other RF that I am aware of that boasts such a robust onboard solver is the Sig 2400 ABS, which has been on the market for many years at this point. In regards to its solver capability, it has been at the top of the game up to...

Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review Part III Non-Reflective, Rain Even more interesting was what I found when the rain came down, something I was keen to test after hearing from Vortex how their engineers had put a particular emphasis on inclement weather performance. During these tests, using the...
