SIG Kilo 2400 with Applied Ballistics!!

[trueblue]

When you are in angle range mode, do you get a reading in MOA with the gun profile you have selected?
Or is MOA reading only given in line of sight mode?

Thanks Andy, that sounds like a common sense solution, that even I can accomplish without messing up. Certainly another plus!

MOA (or MIL) reading is only given in line of sight mode. The ballistic program does factor the angle in of course.

If you are in angle modified mode you will just get the yardage.

Andy,
The wording seemed confusing in the sense that "line of sight" does not infer that the angle of the shot is compensated for.
Bottom line, if I can program a caliber on the self contained unit,get MOA reading output for angle compensated shot, that is what I am looking for.

I was thinking about this as well. While prone, my G7 braces perfectly without interference on the left side of my scope. Being primarily a deer hunter, I rarely, if ever have the time to mess around with a tripod or other type of support on my RF.

I successfully use the same holding technique as you with my BR 2. So you got me to wondering a little...

So just now I got down prone with my rifle and our demo Kilo 2400 unit. It took me just about 2 minutes to conclude that the same hold will work for me and the Kilo 2400. Given more time I may learn to prefer another setup. But right now that seems very solid.

I just turned the Kilo unit counter-clockwise by 90 degrees. then I push the bottom of the unit sideways to my right until it is up against the side of my scope. This means when ready I am pushing the FIRE button (which is now to my left) laterally to my right and against the solid feeling scoped rifle.

Thanks Len, That's good to know. The 2400 sounds like an exciting product. Can't wait to get one!

Doc Beech,
What is the lowest usable temperature limit where the LED readout is visible and the unit will still process at an acceptable speed?
0*F?...-20*F...?
Thanks

It is an OLED not an LCD. So you should be good below 0.

However, I have a -30 degree freezer. So, I will give it a go and see what happens.

That's great man!
Thanks

How or why does it not factor in the angle to the current MOA or Mil ? If you don't have a BDC turret then your out of luck if it's in the mountains with longer distance and strong angle. This is very aggravating and a problem I had this past fall on an elk hunt with the G7Br2.

Doc is this correct ?

wolfmann - The KILO 2400 does factor the angle into the solution when giving a ballistic solution (in MOA or Mils). But in order to get a ballistic solution (in MOA or Mils) the rangefinder has to be set on Line Of Site mode rather than Angle Modified Range mode. Even though it's set on Line of Site mode the angle is still factored into the ballistic solution.

If the rangefinder is set on Angle Modified mode it will give you the angle modified range only with no ballistic solution.

I'm not sure I'm following the problem you had with your G7 BR2 because it also factors in the angle when giving a ballistic solution (in MOA, Mils or BDC)

Both the original and upgraded versions of the G7BR2 calculates the angle using the Ballistic calculator regardless of BC or MOA modes.

Ok, I downloaded the app, and started to enter data on one of my loads. I have data to -25*F on a load, but the app won't allow me to put a negative symbol (-) in front of the number for a negative temperature in the temp column.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Android or iOS?

What device?

It won't allow you, as in you hit the symbol and it rejects it?

 

[Earnhardt]

Android... Motorola Turbo
It won't allow me to enter a negative symbol (-) even though the symbol is there. Yes I hit the symbol and it won't enter/appear.
