this I will say I think the tactical community could learn things from people like JB and his equipment although I am not a leupold user anymore. the people at g7 have come out with an RF unit that does alot of cool things, it would be prefect for the tactical crowd but because it didn't come to the market through the right channels its virtually unknown to most of that crowd. imagine if they had paid frank at snipers hide a bunch of money to review and pimp the g7 RF unit over there?? or if george wrote about it over there. once you have been around that group over there you realize its very myopic and group think over there.

If the g7 would output a solution in mils and meters, it might be better received by those who use mils and meters.


yeah maybe but its really simpler than that, you enter your load info and this is your baseline, it spits out a corrected yardage according to your baseline. so what most people do is have their turret etched with the baseline on it, G7 automatically gives a firing solution based on the baseline then gives you an adjusted yardage to shoot to. so if the actual distance is 750 yards but your shooting in cold conditions and at lower altitude than the baseline you entered, it spits out a shot to distance of say 780. so you adjust to 780 and shot. no looking at a drop chart, no thinking about MOA or mils at least in the elevation adjustment, wind is another manner. for taking a shot up hill, downhill in the mountains and in all sorts of conditions I can't imagine anything else giving quicker firing solutions is almost like have a spotter in your hand instead of needing to tell you what to do. there is no free lunch with the wind.
