[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1900470, member: 10291"] I have been using the G7(both versions) since introduction with excellent results on dozens of game and coyotes to 1200+ yards. Also seeking less size and weight, I bought the Sig 2400 a few years back. When functional, it works works well and has some additional features(finer/automatic reticle illumination/ advanced ballistic programming) that are quite nice. Perhaps I got a couple of bum units, and know of people that have had good success with the 2400, but reliability/functional issues which cost me shots on game, even after being returned for repair, resulted In my shelving the 2400, and returning to the G7. It continues to perform flawlessly with high reliability. An invaluable attribute of the G7 that, IMO, trumps all other RF’s I have used is the “Tru-Targeting“ filter system. [B]Once one has learned how to use it, [/B]forward and rearward target interferences can be very quickly discerned without having to re-enter the programming mode. Additionally, the combination of this feature with a slightly larger beam size enables very accurate ranging on game out to 500+ yards, off-hand, without the need for a steady rest. I also own both the original Terrapin and the recently introduced Terrapin-X, both used with Kestrel 5700. These set-ups with very long range ranging capability and advanced programming are used mainly for ELR shooting, and PRS competition, but for me,are too slow(and bulky) to suit my LR hunting needs.
