[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1337255, member: 54178"] I currently own Bushnell's 10 x 42 ARC 1 Mile laser rangefinder binoculars which are, with no angle compensation for rifle and only 9 trajectory categories for programming your cartridge, barely adequate, only giving me holds at "minute of deer" accuracy for level firing solutions. My ideal LRF has the following: 1. All that the current Leica "HD-B" series has ->programmable micro SD card for ballistics, pressure and temperature sensors, angle sensor 2. PLUS I want these binoculars to have Bluetooth to send the distance to a device like the Kestrel/AB 5700 weather meter & ballistic computer. With this setup I can use the binoculars alone to glass, range and get a pretty good firing solution, especially under 400 yards. Or use them in tandem with the Kestrel/AB 5700 for longer distances I can get my FFP wind and virtually all other environmental factors in my firing solution such as Corolis effect at any compass heading, true altitude density reading (which includes humidity) and virtually all my precise internal and external ballistics factors. **This ability of LRFs to "talk" to a Kestrel/AB type ballistic computing device must become the industry standard. Even LRF rifle scopes (Burris Eliminator III) should have the ability to talk to external devices via Bluetooth. Currently only Kestrel and Bushnell have done this with Bushnell's "Sportsman" LRF monocular but the distance for a firing solution is limited. (Of course the military may have already done this but usually they follow civilian technology in this area.) Technology speeds ahead rapidly so here's hoping that by this time next year this LRF-to-ballistic computer communication will be the "industry standard".
