[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1469513, member: 11960"] I've had an original Terrapin for around 5 years and a buddy has had one for about 2 years. Under ideal conditions (dusk, light cloud cover, no rain/fog) I expect mine to read out past 4000 yards. I can get consistent and repeatable ranges to a max of 4447 yards give or take about 3 yards from a stable rest under ideal conditions on a specific log in an area I hunt. My buddy's Terrapin hasn't given a range past 3800 yards under the same conditions on the same targets. Same friend recently got a Terrapin X and so far it's coming up a little short of his original Terrapin and almost 25% behind mine under ideal conditions at the extreme end of it's capabilities. It does offer additional features over the original Terrapin so that can make up for some of the reduced range capabilities. I don't think most people will actually be held back by a RF that gets readings to "only 3000 yards". I just consider myself lucky to have one that will hit beyond 4000 yards under ideal conditions even though I've yet to have a practical need to range anything beyond 3400 yards. [/QUOTE]
