Managed to get a few hours with this the other day.
Very well thought out system and will be cheap in NZ (sub 2K) for a LRF and Scope!
Check it out.

@Cowboy06 will tell you about how 'great' the swaros areQuote:

The swaro is a nice idea, but it’s still a very expensive medium range hunting scope. Glass is great, size is rediculous. So far it’s not wanting to line up past 500 on the one I’ve seen the most. It’s not my rifle and not me shooting so I can’t guarantee it’s not a shooter error. I might get a chance soon to shoot it right out and try to get it to line up. We have had to rezero it 3 times now. All the mounts are solid and high quality.
The BDX system works out to 800 yards with 1 MOA of accuracy . . . from the sig website
thats not good enough for varminting or much else ( to me ) . . . in all the vids the range was always 400 odd yards, i wouldnt go further either
is dialing so hard to understand or what ?
So if your shooting you guarantee no shooter error?Quote:

hahahaha, yeah right, maybe on the day that there is no wind, or whoever drives the range finder becomes a guru at estimating wind speed.Quote:

what was the size of the target ? was it 1 moa or 10 moa ?
the fleeting thru-the-scope view right at the end was not all that clear, not sure which dot was supposed to be aligned with the target...
does the system take into account wind hold-off as well as elevation, or just elevation ?
They both have their content blocked when I try to play them
i didnt even notice any music when i watched it.
10" gong @ebfQuote:

The system is designed for hunter who can shoot 1.5-2 MOA and who don't normally shoot past 200 yards. If you are already dialling this is not for you.
It displays wind holds as well, based on the wind you input into the application or LRF. If the in scope photo was not clear, pause it. Or google the product for yourself.
The Kilo2400 and Kilo3000 (Binos) can be linked to a Kestrel 5700 which will then use AB Elite and give you a dot and solution for as far as you can range. This would be great for LR shooting and varminting.
As the scopes are SFP the dot moves as you adjust the power and will blink at the bottom of the reticle if you need to zoom out.
Thats got it, thanks.Quote:

I understand the ABS model has a more advanced version applied ballistics inbuilt and is much more advanced in terms of calculating ballistic solutions but i can't seem to find proper specifications on the BDX model. If anyone can point me in the right direction or let me know that'd be wicked.
Im thinking about pre ordering the 6.5-20 with the 2400 combo. Im in the market for a new rangefinder and was thinking about dropping a fair bit of coin on one. (Buy once, cry once). Im an LR hunter so am pretty familiar with dialing and creating solutions using ballistic apps and creating dope charts but this combo could let me bring someone out in the field who isn't so familiar lend them my .308 which is where the scope will live and gain an understanding of holdovers and place longer shots on game without me having to dial for them but i can still use the rangefinder to range targets further out and use my own ballistic solutions on my LR gun.
If im way off please put me on the right track :).
If you have a kestrel 5700 AB you can pair it to the Kilo BDX 2400 and get a solution as far as you can range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw_bZCWWguQ
