Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

It's set to Device. It won't even show the connected if it's on PC/Mobile.

I'm not super concerned about changing the profiles, I was using it more for a test to see if communication was actually happening and it doesn't seem to be. Even though both devices show the connected icon, there doesn't seem to actually BE communication. As I said above, I'm not getting a range on the Kestrel and I'm not getting any form of DOPE on the Fire4000 in ABE.
I had mentioned this in the main post, I wonder if you have the same scenario happening just backwards : "One other thing I noticed is that when you’re in AB external and connected to the Kestrel, simply switching to AB internal doesn’t automatically pick up the BOSS app on the phone. It’s like the kestrel is keeping the device locked in. I have to disconnect the kestrel first before the AB internal picks up the phone app."

SOLD WTS: NIB Kahles K328i scopes

I have two brand new k328i scopes for sale. One is a (10706) with the SKMR4 reticle and the other is a (10707) with the SKMR+ reticles.

These are outstanding scopes with an enormous field of view that you have to see to appreciate.

$3300 shipped for each (PayPal preferred)

I have an Area419 36mm mount that can be included separately for $350 for the mount with their bubble level included. 0 MOA cant and 1.34" height.

If you want the mount plus scope, I can go $3600

Also I have an MPA 36mm that I can sell for $250. It is 0 MOA cant and 1.25" height.

Please ask if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help.

Rifle Scopes Lightweight short range hunting optic?

When I couldn't decide between the PLCx and NX8, I got both. After running both and getting a general feel for both, I stuck with the NX8.

The PLXc has that bezzle less effect and a wider field of view. In the case of there PLXc, it seemed to me that PA chose to go with a small size and crammed as much into that small size as they could, at the expense of robustness. The PLXc seemed to me to be built just thick enough to hold all of the parts together.

The NX8 is the opposite. Comparing build quality, the NX8 inspires confidence, whereas the PLXc does not.

The NX8 also had a better too end image. No matter how hard I tried, I could never get the image, center reticle and the etchings on the reticle all focused at the same time.

Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel! And you know I’m just picking on you. We all feel about the same way about this mess. I’m hoping things are turning around.
No apology needed...

The whole fucking thing is an historical abortion...

Retards... retards everywhere!

I have the 5700 AB elite (from factory, not upgraded) not sure on FW i'll have to check later. There are certainly some nuances in switching devices/profiles so it seems. It personally doesnt bother me that much since I'm mounting it on one rifle and leaving it for the most part but I will play with it some more this weekend and try to figure some of it out.

Feedback Request - Proposed Order of Operations

Hello,

I shoot recreationally in Phoenix, AZ, mostly at Ben Avery and Cowtown, from 100 to 1000 yards. I do not compete at this time.

I would like to know if you see any fatal flaws or bad logic in my proposed order of operations for 6.5 Creed bolt gun ammo.

My priorities:

*Complete the work fast

*Minimize single step procedures (i.e. weighing and dropping individual charges, applying wax to cases individually, annealing cases individually, etc).

*Obtain better performance than Hornady match ammo

*Process 200-300 cases at a time

Order of Operations:

Step 1 - Collect Fired Brass

Step 2 - Anneal Necks in Giraud Annealer

Step 3 - Spray lube with one shot or similar

Step 4 - De-prime on Dillon 550 Toolhead 1, Station 1 - Lee universal decapping die

Step 5 - FL Resize body on Dillon 550 Toolhead 1, Station 2 - Forster FL Resize die with decapping stem removed

Step 6 - Expand Necks on Dillon 550 Toolhead 1, Station 3 - Pin Gauge Die TBD

Step 7 - Tumble to remove lube

Step 8 - Trim / Chamfer / Deburr on Giraud Trimmer

Step 9 - Prime case on Dillon 550 Toolhead 2, Station 1

Step 10 - Drop powder (Staball 6.5) on Dillon 550 Toolhead 2, Station 2

Step 11 - Seat bullet on Dillon 550 Toolhead 3, Station 3


Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

It started out as an Elite, so not upgraded. FW is 2.15 and Boot is 2.00.

Doesn't matter which order I turn things on, the bluetooth symbol shows up on the Fire4000, the Kestrel says it is connected, but I get no communication between the 2 devices. Range doesn't update on the Kestrel, I get no DOPE at all on the Fire4000 in ABE mode. If I change rifle profiles on the Kestrel, it never updates on the Fire4000, even if I turn everything off, turn the Fire4000 back on, then the Kestrel, in ABI mode the DOPE I get is for the original rifle I had selected, not the new one on the Kestrel. ABE I still get no DOPE at all.
Is your Kestrel bluetooth setting in Computer or Device? Should be "device" if i remember correctly

Keltec KSG410 1x

What red dot would you put on it? I am actually thinking about a primary arms 1x prism.

I like circle dots or larger reticles.

Waiting for the flat top picatinny to arrive so I can drop the stupid carry handle fiber optic, and get it looking more like a traditional KSG.

Never fired a 410 before, thing just looked like fun.
