[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 126868, member: 319"] Not much, I haven't gotten to play with it much lately or take any more pics, etc. It still works the same though. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] To date the farthest it has ranged has been around 2450 yards. Those have been on grassy/sagebrush hillsides (summertime vegetation, not very reflective) after sundown. On the same it seems to top out around 1900 + or - a bit in bright sunlight depending on the angle, color, etc of the hill. Anything with some shine to it (tractor, backhoe, pickup, etc) it was getting out to 2150 in bright sun. I didn't happen to see any deer at what I would expect to be its max range on them. I saw tons under 1000 and it easily ranged all of them. And I did happen to spot a couple at over 2K (I could range the hillside behind them at 2100 something and a tree in front of them at 2K) and it would NOT range them. But that's not too surprising. I'll be back in Montana next week so hopefully I'll be able to fill in the 1-2K gap a bit. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] If I get a big buck early in the break, maybe I'll have time to take more pics. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] In short, so far so good, but I've only had them a little while. [/QUOTE]
