There's probably 10x the number of Kilo 2000s in the wild as the ConX. I had an older Bushy LRF, it was decent for the money...at the time, the Kilos are way better. The hyperscan feature is amazing.
This is the first place I've seen someone speak positively about the ConX. Seen plenty of people bitching about Bluetooth connectivity issues. Crappy ballistics software that displays drop but no wind hold, etc.
.
As BangBangBlatBlat said the Conx works really well, I have never shot that many Deer in a month let alone in two days. The problems arise when people try to connect it the way they want instead of the correct way, It Also scans really well which I guess is the same as what Sig call their Hyperscan.
With the Conx there is nothing to Brag about because it does Everything that Bushnell says it can apart from it Ranges on those Items a lot further and it is like holding a Hi Tech Terrapin or a G7, and you hold it like you would a pair of Binoculars which is the most natural position to our hands. being able to range to a Mile +/- is a huge bonus and I don't see the point in Shooting past that, Yes it is good to do it for a bit of fun, And if a person actually needs to range beyond that then buy a different model made for the job, yes it will cost quite a few $000 Dollars and that also depends on how often a person is going to shoot that far whether it is worth the extra cost involved but the first step up the ladder is the G7 but at around $1800 and then that takes you into the Vectronix range of products or the Divorce Courts, Lol.
If a person does not shoot beyond a Mile then there is no point in buying an LRF that goes out to 4 or 5K unless it is just to look good at the firing range or you can't survive without owning the Bragging rights, That may sound a bit Harsh But it's True, It won't make anyone a better shooter, When I joined a Club there was one Guy who was the club hero sportin a $10,000 Dollar hand made Rifle and mine cost $450.00, Needless to say I took the next two comps from him and have the medals to prove it, But to make light of it all, Shooting is a bit like sex it's not what you got it's how you use it,
Shooting out to fantasy distances needs extreme prep and planning, Because I know of a Horrific Accident that happened when someone tried that, And if someone buys an LRF that can go that far it won't be long before they or one of their mates come up with the Idea of giving it a go,
Shooting has changed a lot this past 20+ years or so, People would put a Target up out as far as they dare, then they started putting them up as far as they can see with the naked eye, Now they put them up as far as they can see with a Spotting Scope, And now I guess those new Laser guided Bullets will become the next phase at unheard of Ranges, who knows ?
There was a time when 3 to 500 yards was the safest Hunting Range but with modern Ballistics and Scopes etc those distances have gone beyond 1k, I wish we could travel back in time with some of these new gadgets and see the look on peoples faces, I wonder what Ol Carlos would think of them, Bless Him.
Any of these LRF's will work well except one particular model, Like I said before I went with the Bushnell Conx because it leaves nothing to chance when I use or pair it with any one piece of my Kit, There is only one thing I need now and that is a Night Scope that can hang with the Range of the Conx then my Kit would be complete.
