[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 709043, member: 14"] Ernie, The rifle it arrived on for review, a Tikka T3 Stainless laminate 7mm Mag, has quite a bit of muzzle jump with the 162gn A-Max doing 3100fps. The stock has too much drop and I haven't fitted a muzzle brake as its not my rifle. So I have my left hand up the front anyway or I get significant vertical, and its easy to just lift my thumb a bit and hit the button. And I am 6'4" so arm reach isn't a problem for me! I like the idea of a plug and a little thin cable remote you could plug in when you're ready and operate from where suits you best. I'll suggest it in my review! And yes, they could easily have included some level lights, or a bubble or something with everything else they've got going on in there. The biggest issue with these is getting them setup right for your load. They are going to appeal to people who know little about long range, because once set up you won't need to. But they are only as accurate as the drop data put into them. As few people will actually calibrate them at the 750 yards required for the setup, it will be a guess by some nitwit behind a counter in a shop reading off the back of a factory ammo packet. I predict they'll sell well, but there'll be plenty of complaints about them not being accurate for exactly this reason! Greg [/QUOTE]
