[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1929382, member: 17889"] I just recently received the 3000. Still evaluating and learning. Have only used it around the lodge in the evening. Deer up to 748 (not 3000's limit, longest opportunity presented off rear deck so far); barn at 1362; truck at 1684. I need to steady unit with monopod to hit target every time....old geezer, youth steadiness misplaced along the way. Wish it had smaller point reticle rather than larger circle. Nice having two functions in one unit...RF/binos. Glass is very good equal to Vortex Kaibab and Razor HD single function binos to my eyes, only 10x fixed power....other binos 18 and 12 respectively. Of course, optics are highly subjective....YMMV. Ballistic function is hamstrung to 800 yards....it's the Lite version. If paired with my Kestrel, can feed back unlimited range solutions then on to Sierra scope. I plan to use Kestrel 5700AB Elite, 3000, and pair with yet to be available Sierra 6BDX 5-30x56 (2B new toy to play with; not BDC kinda guy; prefer own spins) on one of my MRADs. I'm not regularly humpin' mountains any more....too many adventures on the knees.......limiting to under 5 miles or 1 handful little friends, which ever comes first any more. [/QUOTE]
