So, what’s the deal? I never see these things on sale. Eurooptic has ‘em for $669.99 (5700 Elite w/Link). Seen them other places on sale today as well.

Makes me leery of buying them if something much better is dropping soon.

Ballistic Weather Meters

Kestrel Ballistic Weather Meters for sale at eurooptic.com or call 570-368-3920 to place your order today!

Even the 5700x is cut down to $799.99. Wtf

Well, the sale is over so must’ve been some rando promo.

I would expect you not to be pleased by having the latest trick ( a calypso feeding a vector-x lrf bino ) but the auld routine ( a lrf bino feeding a kestrel) will still be plenty for most of the intended use.

I own a 3500 Kestrel, so all is good. No connectivity or ballistics. Just environmentals, Strelok, a wind rose, and a dope card on the gun.

Those AB 5700 elites & X’s do tempt, however. Just don’t want to get Labradared at the last sec lol (I own a Garmin, but have heard the sob stories).

There will always be the new shiny thing but regardless of what comes down the pipe, I don't think you'd regret getting a 5700 Elite, especially on sale. I've had one since (I think?) 2017 or '18 and it's a great piece of kit.

I just bought a 5700X Elite after about 8 years on the last Kestrel. Don't really care what comes out any time soon. They will probably be on the 7xxxx series before I need another one.

I still have the 4500NV with Horus atrag on it. Non Bluetooth version. I think I’ve probably had it for over ten years and it still does me just fine for what I do. I would like a 5700 eventually I suppose but I can store something like 60 different gun profiles in it and it gives me nearly the same dope as the AB app, just no spin drift, aj, or G7 and it only stores 2 targets but I get along fine with it.

<offtopic> you can't image the level of junkiness reached by the european power restricted version of labradar once the Garmin was announced...</offtopic>

Tell that to all the guys that took a bath on their used LabRadars. 😆 Anyone that knew even a week early could have offloaded their junk for a premium. I'm just thankful I didn't buy one of the few on the PX before the news dropped.

Ikr? I know a dude who bought a Labradar at full price two weeks before the Garmin came out.

Ouch.

Kestrel is one of those companies that perhaps could get Labradared by a company like Garmin.

I’ve heard the 5700 series maybe doesn’t have the most user-friendly device UI in the world (not talking about the app).

In a way they did, they bought out Magnetospeed shortly before the Xero came out.
