[QUOTE="mildot1960, post: 1320324, member: 63671"] [b]Re: Is their a $1,000 difference between the SIG Kilo 2200 and 2400?[/b] G'day Andy. They Both have their merits, I see they are selling the ConX Combo for $850.00 now. There are a few little Tricks that the ConX has that are not in the manual and the only thing you have to mess with is the wind when not bluetoothed to the Kestrel, The ConX has about 16 Modes and around 7 options of how you can use it, The ConX App it very cool because once that data is loaded you can forget about setting it up and press the button and you get the come ups in less than a second as a stand alone unit or if you have a spotter working with you he can see the data via a phone,, The ConX works the same way, Once the data is loaded in to the Kestrel the ConX automatically connects to the Kestrel and it is the same with the ConX App, where the moment you hit the Lase/Power button the ConX connects to the kestrel or your Phone or your Tablet, it is a "One Touch" System. Once you have loaded the profile in to the ConX/Phone you do not need the phone ever again. A while back you posted about your 7mm bullet data in one of your posts So I kidnapped the load data and put it in to an App, Then I loaded the data in to the ConX App and it automatically sent it to the ConX, Once that was done I hit save and Now My ConX is loaded with your 7mm Bullet Data and that is there until I replace it with another profile, The Accuracy of the come ups is within 0.01 to 0.03 Mils at any distance, From a Hunting perspective the ConX is ultra fast with the Data being visible in less than half a second where it is a case of Click / Bang. When I loaded your Data in to the ConX App and Saved it and then lased a target, I laughed and said out loud "This Can't be Legal" LOL, The 2400 is a beautiful thing but for what it does it is a tad too expensive for those who have to live on the average budget, And now the ConX has had a price drop that's a saving of over $700.00 between the two, And the success that novices have had using the ConX has opened up a whole new world to Shooters/Hunters who have never shot past 3 or 400 yards, A new user took their ConX to a comp and they were ringing 5" steel @500 yards and 36" steel at 1200 yards and at all distances in between and never missed a shot. I have used mine in heavy Rain and in heavy Fog type mirage and still got readings on black stone walls at 1485 and on trees at over 1380, and in heavy rain I even zapped the 1/4" Tip of a CB Ariel at 226.6 yards and I also got the same reading in bright sunlight. The 16 modes/choices and 7 options of how you can use it means there is something in there for everyone. If my tablet App dies then I can use the kestrel, If the Kestrel dies I can use the Apps, If they don't work then I can use one of the pre sets, If they don't work then I can use the Custom loaded Data and I can mix and match any one of the above or just use the ConX as an LRF and do it old school, the only limits/options are the ones that I create, I don't know what else people want from a PLRF but the only thing the ConX does not do is rack the Bolt and Squeeze the Trigger, The 2400 has incredible ranging abilities but most folks already own one of the Kestrel AB's old or new (4700/5700)s and most likely they use Apps anyway So the 2200 combined with the above is an Awesome set up, and if a person is using Apps then the Kestrel 5500 BT would be the best all round option while maintaining a realistic budget by getting the 2200 and the Kestrel 5500 BT, I did months of research which is why I bought the one I have because I wanted unlimited options so no matter what happened my options over lapped, Where the ranging abilities are more than acceptable while maintaining a high level of safety, because some shooters will try to shoot well beyond the safety range of their rifle if they own an LRF that can go that far, And another thing is that about 85/95% of people don't realize just how far 1 Mile actually is or possess the skills to make such a shot. Hope that helps, John. [/QUOTE]
