[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 798652, member: 63748"] Broz, Some of what you have posted along with other considerations is why I haven’t considered looking into the G7BR2 as of yet. I'm sure they work great under most circumstances and G7 appears to have a great product reducing many inputs for a firing solution. I'm also not at that point of comfort where if I lose my rangefinder I also lose my computer and vise versa. I would prefer to keep them separate since I'm computing for wind anyway. A few more seconds with a computer at the ranges we are talking about shouldn't be that big of a deal breaker. If it is, the animal is moving and best to just let it go. I was also concerned with the product during a Gunwerks TV show with a claimed elevation miss on an elk. With my estimates on a range of 1300 yards that would be an elevation error over 1 MOA. I would usually expect to see errors over 1 MOA in windage before range assuming you have properly applied the use of the products you are marketing. I'm also assuming they used the G7BR2 for ranging and a firing solution. If they were not, that would also be a concern with marketing a product and not using it. Many people seem to like them, I'm just not convinced yet and hope to get my hands on one someday. Right now I'm sticking to my Kestrel 4000, Vectronix and ballistics engine in PDA along with backup firing tables. [/QUOTE]
