[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 2011, member: 25"] I tried the big Kestrel and would stay with the 3000 - provides a lot of info and is very easy to use. Don't know about you but like to keep it simple, don't care about a Relative Humidity graph for the past ten days and whatever. The Kestrel 300 has been on several hunts and works fine, just have to remember that it only gives the wind speed where you are, not at the target. Cat, I wasn't sure how far out we were hurling, I don't use a computer program so was just looking for some info. We went up 65 minutes from the 100 yard zero and got hits on a fairly small rock. Fact is we walked the bullets out there, but started tickling it. When we shoot at 1100 yards on the steel buffalo I usually use 44 minutes with the 175's. I would expect we were over 1300, close to 1400 and getting hits. Shot the Nikon Tacticals a bunch out to 7 & 800 and they are working beautifully. They are very good scopes - turrets are working perfectly, very bright and crisp images, everyone who has used them wants to buy one. Have one on a light weight titanium actioned Prairir Gun Works .300 Win. sporter with a brake on it to see how it stands up - 300 rounds so far and OK. Found out that shooting a rifle with a muzzlebreak from prone in a 12 mph headwind is not much fun, unless you enjoy eating dirt, grass, cowdroppings, assorted bugs and maybe a shell-shocked gopher or two.
