[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1361010, member: 10291"] Thanks! Yes, The 2400 is excellent rangefinder. I had the opportunity to compare the Sig and the G7(gen2) on over 100 animals ranged to 1000 Yards in both Wyoming and Alberta. They got a good workout from sub zero to 65 degree temps, elevations from 2000-5000 feet, and s variety of different settings from heavy sage to open snow covered fields. With the same rifle/load info entered in each, ranges and ballistic outputs were basically identical to 1000+ yards under the wide variety of conditions. IMO, each unit has pluses and minuses, but I could do nicely with either RF for my hunting with the bulk of my animals shot over the past several years from 300-800 yards(furthest 1188 yards). The Sig 2400 is smaller and lighter. The auto adjusting ranging reticle is nicer to use and does not wash out the animal in near dark ranging situations at dusk and dawn. I will say though that when the G7 washes out the target it’s generally too dark to accurately shoot past 100 or 200 Yards anyway. For ELR shooting, the advanced capabilities(spin drift, coreolis, etc) is a big plus. For game in difficult cover I prefer the Tru-targeting feature of the G7 over the “best/last selection of the 2400. For me, it is faster and easier to determine a precise range with the G7 in these difficult ranging situations. The antelope shown in my post was such a case, as he was quite educated, hanging out the in the heavy sage brush at 750 yards.
