[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1875186, member: 113501"] I don't believe you need the Elite upgrade to use ABX mode with a Kestrel. If you want to take really long shots, the Elite upgrade makes sense but I would be a lot more enthusiastic about it if it was $50-60 instead of $190. The 4DOF Kestrel is interesting because from what I hear it does firing solutions that agree with Applied Ballistics Elite but it does not work with BDX for ABX mode (Applied Ballistics eXternal). Since Kestrel doesn't have to pay Applied Ballistics for a software license, the 4DOF is about the same retail price as a Kestrel 5700 Sportsman (unless you buy the CONX version from Cameraland). If Sig had chosen Hornady 4DOF for its ballistic solver, BDX could do really long shots for $190 less. I think you can even put 4DOF firmware on the Kestrel CONX so you can take advantage of the Cameraland deal but doing so makes it incompatible with Sig BDX ABX mode. [/QUOTE]
