Suggestion for rangefinders

[LRNut]

I want to push a button and have a solution without messing with a Kestrel; IMO a shock corded wind flag I plant in front of me is better than an anemometer. I use them, to be sure, but only if I can't read mirage, and even then, my wind flag is something I can glance at just before I take a shot. Someone should come up with a bluetooth to a phone with ABS - or a HUD in your scope. We can dream...

they bluetooth back and forth . your correction shows up in the rangefinder .

I didn't know that; pretty cool. Thanks.

Can you input your own wind estimation based on mirage, or does it automatically use the Kestrel measured wind?

ABS is the applied ballistics solver program that will take in all your settings and the environmental conditions to give you a elevation and windage correction to shoot that distance .


I have a sig 2400abs and also a gen1 G7BR2 . the sig is much smaller , making it nicer to carry . the sig considers a few more things to give your corrections . compass direction , for Coriolis . spin drift , aerodynamic jump . these are the three I can think of right off . my sig ranges to 1600 yards pretty well . it's hit and miss at 2050 yards . it never got a hit at 2375 yards . I've never tried the G7BR2 out to these distances .


EDIT : here is a link to another set up . I haven't seen it work yet , we should be getting together this summer to do some shooting . I'm anxious to see this in action .

Leica 3500.COM & Kestrel 5700 Elite

Recently upgraded from a Leica 1600 to the 3500.COM. As I don’t have the 5700 Elite yet, it will be acquired in the near future. First impression of the 3500.COM - Awesome! It is super fast. I took it out for a test drive this morning and wasn’t disappointed. Freehand, I hit 2553 yards...

I tried to buy the sig kilo 2400 abs on here. It wouldn't let me add it to my cart. What do I need to do to purchase from here. Do I need to join something or setup an account.

I "think " the wind input can work either way .

I don't even see Len's long range store listed above .

I tried looking up Len's long range store couldn't find it Euro optics is sold out. Amazon has it for the same price but would that be the real thing .

that's hard to say , for sure . I've read guys talk about buying counterfeit Mitutoyo calipers from amazon .

I grabbed a pack of Denise's cigarettes to put a size on these two rangefinders . the sig is slightly bigger than a pack of cigarettes' .

I'll mention this just in case you're like me and don't have a smartphone . the sig app needs to be on a smartphone or tablet . it needs to be mobile . to set this up properly I take the tablet along to input things in the field . velocity put in at home will skew the info . I figured this out the hard way . also be sure to calibrate the compass before use , again I found out the hard way .

I'll wait for Euro optics to get it in thanks for the info

I'm looking for a little help in choosing a rangefinder. I'm currently using a Nikon binoculars they go out to 1900 yd. I'm looking to maybe get something with the ballistics and angles and all that in it. A buddy of mine has a sig Sauer I think it's 2,400 he can program four or five rifles in it. I was looking at that and the G7 BR2 I was wondering if anyone had any information about those or what you would recommend. I hunt Colorado El Camino deer figuring on shooting out to 1,000. Looking for a rangefinder that's going to be accurate and that'll pick up pretty decent at that range. Thanks in advance for any information.

Look at the leupold 4000 its new
