[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2099810, member: 115285"] I upgraded from the Leica 1600 and Kestrel 4500 with AB, to the Leica 3500.com and Kestrel 5700X Elite. They work well together, you need to get used to the Bluetooth and how each unit functions when using it, and keep them within 6 feet of each other. It was nice for me as the Leica are physically the same, but the 3500's ranging is incredible in comparison. The new Kestrel 5700X has a faster computer on board and is definitely worth the extra, the Bluetooth signal power is user tunable too. That is more for military security reasons, but I kind of like that capability. When I had the 1600 I felt it was only really good to 800 yards, by that I mean ranging an IPSC target reliably. With the 3500 I feel it dose that well out to a mile! Which I also believe is the practical leathality imit of my .338 Lapua, certainly more than enough for my 6.5 PRC Desert Tech SRS. Here's one way I like to use them.[ATTACH type="full"]247098[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
