[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1251630, member: 16938"] I'm a G7 BR2 guy as well. I started with a Gen 1 a few years ago and never had an issue. A couple weeks ago my brother in law decided he wanted a BR2 so I sold him my Gen 1 and ordered a Gen 2. The Gen 2 didn't arrive in time for last weekend's chase for wolves and Caribou. So, I went to Sportsman's and picked up a fresh Kilo 2000 due to the reviews I've seen. I was very unimpressed with the Kilo 2000. The first annoyance was that it failed to range a black wolf laying atop a nearby hill at around 450 yards. It then failed to obtain a reading on the same wolf and all surrounding rocks on a wide open snow covered hillside at something ~ 700 yards. Both of these are instances that I feel 100% confident the BR2 would have returned a range for a clean kill. The temp was ~15F. I'm thinking cold weather was a cause for the failure. It worked fine after sitting in the warm truck. The next thing that bugged me was that the Kilo exhausted half the battery life after one day of use. I have no confidence in the Kilo 2000 and I have no room in my gear bag for items that aren't reliable. I returned it as soon as I got back to town. [/QUOTE]
