[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1610672, member: 80699"] Tested it over the weekend on a precision rifle course. When using AB ultralite, took some tweaking of the BC to get it right, but once we did, easy hits out to 700 yards. Testing hooked up to the Kestrel using a CDM, it was right on from the beginning. The next target was 1125, which exceeded the dots we had for that particular load, we could have tried pulling back on mag or some combination of dialing and holding...but the winds were gusting between 4 and 15 MPH...and not consistent (1/4 value, no value, 1/2 value), so it was just not a good test at those distances in those conditions. Using the distance dots (so without a BDX RF), they were on as well, at least out to the 550 yards we tried it at. We also dialed from 150 to 700 and back down again, and it worked great. The only thing that did not go as planned was, like I said, ABU was off a bit, where the Kestrel running CDM's, was perfect. Not that big a deal, but good to note. Also, we wanted to use it in "MOA dot" mode, but the spacing was too coarse, so I need to see if there is a way to make that more granular so it is useful. But overall, a pretty good performance so far. [/QUOTE]
