[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 134010, member: 25"] Two more suggestions. From your original list. I would consider a simpler Kestral or a basic Brunton. Bruntons are smaller, fit into the stock pack nicer but the new Kestral shape is an improvement. Basically you want wind and temps - barr. pressure/altititude if those are big variables. Why pay for computer memory and features you may not use. I have gone through several windmeters, simple is good. The cheaper models are accurate, just less bells and whistles. Also for your ballistics program consider the one sold by Nightforce, has a couple of very useful features. Basically EXBAL with some extras. As for rings, if weight is an issue Badger makes aluminum bases and rings. Cuts a few ounces and still very strong. I cannot tell them from the steel ones on my rigs as far as looks goes. Also consider Glen Seekins, his aluminum bases and rings are beautifully machined and a bit less $. Also Richard Near, [url="http://www.nearmfg.com"]www.nearmfg.com[/url] makes superb mounts and rings in steel but a bit more $. [/QUOTE]
