[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 1274149, member: 12514"] Went out yesterday afternoon about 1 1/2 hours before dark. It was overcast and just before the snow started. Visibility was good. Setup two manfrotto tripods, one with a borrowed Vectronics Terrapin rangefinder and the other with the Kilo 2400. Could not find deer or Elk but had several small groups of Black Angus. Both rangefinders easily ranged cows ranging between 850-900 yards as they fed. The display brightness was way better in the 2400's. Really liked the instant firing solution seen through the kilo and also on the phone app. I played with putting my own wind solution using app and it is under 15 seconds to sync to the Kilo. Kind of cool. Picked another group of moo cows and this time they were just shy of 1500 yards. The Kilo's ranged these cows time and time again. However, I did have several misses but eventually got them. The Terrapins never missed, I got a result every single time at 1500 yards. Inclination was about 1 degree and both rangefinders were surprisingly within a couple yards. Next I moved out across the pasture and started ranging trees. Cedars and Pondarosa pines. This is where the similarities ended! The furthest I could get a range with Kilo's was 1,581 yards. I tried several times using scan mode as well. Before I comment on the Terrapins performance I need to mention that mine are broken. I am not happy at all with Vectronics and there service. It is very disappointing to have to pay 1500-2000 dollars to get them repaired and 6-12 months to get them back! Now that my rant is over.....The Terrapins kicked butt past 1,600 yards. I ranged tress from 1,600 to just past a whopping 3,700 yards. That's right 3,700! Need to stress that this was my first outing with the Kilo 2400 and I need more time to get familiar with them. I really really liked them right up until they reached there advertised range. I have never shot a live animal past 1,285 yards. I think the Kilo's would do what I need in 99% of my hunting conditions. Anyway, this was my first impression with a unfamiliar rangefinder. Ray [/QUOTE]
