[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1337544, member: 8873"] Yeah there are so many things coming down the pipeline that it's hard to keep up. Technology is great except guys rely on it solely (too much), and when it goes down they don't know what to do! As for range finders the military has been leaps and bounds ahead of civilian, kinda. The tech was there just not the common sense to issue us what we need. As an example: our grenadiers are issued Bushnell 1500 LRF, that is for a weapon with a maximum effective range of 350 meters. Guess what the last range finder was that I had issued...was $83,000 and weighed about 10 pounds more than the Viper Vector II we also had. They basically give us the same thing that Artillery Forward Observers get. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing piece of equipment but not we thought was ideal for teams that already carry a lot of weight and need to stay clandestine. I had used my own money to buy a Swarovski Laser Guide about 10 years ago. I've said it on here before but I would like a spotting scope/LRF combo, think it'll be better for ELR work. [/QUOTE]
