[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1230841, member: 4809"] I think you have the Pros and Cons pretty well lined out. Currently, I am not aware of any one single piece of kit that will do it all. Maybe someday. And when it does come out, the manufacturer will probably not get everything right the first time. There will be improved versions that come out later. That's a lot of hunting seasons from now. I understand your hesitation completely. We work hard for our money and want to make the best choices possible within our budget. But do not lose sight of the journey as well. There is value in reminding ourselves how we got here... how we used to do it 'old school' (which was just a few years ago). I own a G7 BR2 (second edition). I love it. But when I am teaching new shooters how to stretch the legs of their rifles, I still have them range the target and then enter all the variables into my "Shooter" app to come up with a firing solution. Only after they are competent with Shooter do I show them the other function of the BR2 which spits out the firing solution for them. I want them to understand all the variables that go into the BR2 solution and not simply take it for granted. Technology sometimes fails. Buy the best you can afford right now and start using it. It will help you form your own opinions on likes/dislikes and what is useful vs. necessary. It will also help further ingrain the entire process in your mind. By the time something better comes along in a few more years, you will probably find that you are making more money and can now afford to upgrade. Best of luck to you in whatever you purchase.
