[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1499737, member: 54178"] todd, "It's coming." Yep, sure as God made little green apples the LRF and ballistics technology is very rapidly progressing as well as becoming less expensive. Just look at any kind of current laser rangefinder (LRF). Not only do they range to outrageous distances like the Nikon 4000 yard unit but they work better in many crappy situations like brush and rain [I]and[/I] prices are dropping as well. So maybe similar to Leica's LRF binoculars, they will make a LRF scope like the Eliminator III with good glass, cant and up/down angle indicaton, temperature and air pressure sensors, compass (no readout, just internal data for calculating coriolis effect) and Bluetooth for wind input from a hand-held anemometer. PLUS it will have a built in ballistics engine, and, like Leica's HD B 3000 binoculars, a micro SD card that you can put in your computer and download your [U]exact[/U] ballistic data and put it into the scope. That means you need to input now only your cartridge type, bullet weight but BC number and exact muzzle velocity. With all this and good glass, say one level below ED glass, I would definitely take out a home equity loan to pay the $3,500, necessary for all this technology in a rugged scope. Can you imagine a US sniper with a scope like this? Ooooowwwweeeee! Eric B. [/QUOTE]
