[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1611633, member: 80699"] The scope is not actually limited, it will take whatever ballistic solution you throw at it...that is...if you are using ultralite onboard the RF, it is limited to 800 yards. However, if your RF is paired to a Kestrel, then it will give you a solution to as far as the dots will allow. On ours, that's just under 1k, and because of the digital focal plane, if you turn down the mag on your scope, it stretches farther. The key is that the trajectory etc....is controlled externally...my understanding is this is why it is legal for hunting in some states where some other systems are no. The scope is not 'smart'...it just lights up the dot that the Rf tells it to, or when using without an RF, what the App tells it to. As far as ultralite goes, it's works pretty much like Leica's in that it will not consider higher forces like Coriolis etc, so it's a limited distance solution, but connect with a Kestrel, and that limit comes off. As for BDX moving upstream, I suspect we will see that happen. I think they wanted to get it in at a level where it was accessible to more users. If you look at the price of a Tango 6 scope, for example, then add the 'BDX' cost, well, I certainly could not afford it personally. But I think we'll be seeing something like that in the future, not that I'll be able to afford it! In terms of full AB, and I would add onboard environmentals and compass, that is what the 2400 ABS is, but without BDX. Been quite a few people asking about that...I wonder if that does not come out sooner or later. Again, that will probably put the RF into nosebleed prices (at least for my nose). But it would be pretty cool, especially if they put the same divergence laser as the 3k BDX has. Again, I think the decision to go without those things in the current BDX is purely a price play, as they already have that implemented in the ABS....just the cost is prohibitive for most folks.
