    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    You are very welcome, I am glad it helped! I definitely recommend thinking about about what kind of workflow you like best....weapon mounted, bino, or CRF....they are all a little different. But overall, I would stick with one that provides solid ballistics in optic. Good luck on your search...

    trijicon Accupoint weakness vs Tenmile (wire reticle vs etched)

    So an update after having talked to and emailed with Trijicon. Turns out not all Tenmiles are etched. The 4-24 and the 6-24 are both wire. All Accupoints are wire due to the illumination system. So for me, if I get a 4-24...it's going to be wire...mils or moa. According to the tech I talked...

    trijicon Accupoint weakness vs Tenmile (wire reticle vs etched)

    Thanks for the response! Yeah, I have been practicing in my head how I would convert a call like half a 10 in plate low at 630 yards. Keep in mind, I don't compete etc....so we are not in a hurry, it's not a competition etc. So I do have time, its just us out in a field with our hunting...

    trijicon Accupoint weakness vs Tenmile (wire reticle vs etched)

    I'm searching for my next broad use hunting scope and due to @Formidilosus tests, a 4-32 NX8 or one of the Trijicons comes to mind. Very long story as short as possible, the reticles in the NX8 will not work for me. In terms of the the Trijicons, the 4-24 range seems to fit best (lots of...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    It would be cool to have a head to head for AB vs Gunwerks BR4 solutions vs GB. I think that would be very interesting. I don't have a BR4, however, so can't help out there.

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    Thanks! Yeah, I have not heard too much buzz on this one, not exactly sure why. Maybe because it does not use AB? Not sure, but I was pleased with the ranging I did with it. I'd like to see someone who is an ELR shooter verify the long range solutions, GB vs AB. That's not something I could...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    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...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    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...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    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...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Wow, I did not have that experience with mine. Left it outside overnight when we slept in a tent and then other nights in the truck. It was only in the teens though.

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Part IV Mapping Integration Continued But even more valuable to my mind is the capability of finding game when recovery is going to have to be via a circuitous route, which might make finding the animal difficult, especially if arrival time on site ends up being after dark. We had this exact...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Part III 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...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Part II To test the 8k on steel, I setup a 2/3 IPSC target which measures 12x18 on a post set on the top of a rise so that false positives from the background or foreground would be obvious. I ranged in full sun, planning to return in lower light to see how far it could really stretch when not...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    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...

    WTS Weatherby Accuguard

    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...

    Best long range hunting rifle and scope for $1500?

    I'd look really hard at the Bergara if I were you. I have a Weatherby Accugard, my son recently bought a Bergara. Both shoot fine, but his has the very large benefit of being Remington pattern, whereas mine is not. That matters when you decide to swap stocks in particular, but also triggers...

    New Sig Kilo 5k release

    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

    I do not have a 2400 ABS, so I am not sure if there are any differences between the AB versions between the Vortex and the Sig. I had thought that maybe horizonal coriolis was missing, but I might be wrong on that. Of course, there are other differences. The divergence is larger and the...
