How far are you ranging and how often are you getting hits without the extenders? I want to be sure I'm understanding the problem correctly, especially in an ELR context.Extenders were totally uselss to my at nightforce ELR this year on the 12x vectors. Could only range about 1 out of 30 attempts with them on at those distances.
I am concerned with both these reports. I found no noticeable impact on ranging function with the extenders in the pre-production unit I have. Further, I found the range extenders to be a hugely value adding accessory. They really enable the spotting scope replacement function of the binos in a big way and were optically excellent. Hopefully these are isolated issues and not a design problem with the changes made to the range extenders in the production version. I think I'll shoot Philip an e-mail and see how things are going. The constantly fluctuating tariff situation has got to be a nightmare. I feel for businesses. Also, how is the optical performance of your extenders? Do you notice any added chromatic aberration, a degradation of resolution, or any performance issues near the edge of the image?I've just got the 12x DMR and range extenders. Doesn't range much beyond 100 yards with the range extenders fitted. Anyone else had this problem? Got to say, I'm pretty pissed given how much these things cost.
Lastly, did you try reversing which extender was on which barrel? I would be curious as the rangefinding components are only in one barrel of the binos and I wouldn't expect individual problems with manufacture of the extenders to effect both units.
