PLRF 10 repair.

[FORESTBARBER]

Very dead horse, no doubt, but thought I would pummel it one more time.
Bought PLRF 10C off Ebay at what seemed a very good price in January. It ranged identically to a friend's PLRF 10 out to 2170yds and on 2moa steel out to 1800yds. I decided I didn't need since I always shoot with buddy at "known" distances and I sold it.

Shipped it and recipient reported it didn't work past about 700 yds. After some constructive to and fro he shipped it back and I refunded in full.

Something definitely went whack as I can't get it to range on my shooting berm at 325 yards.

I have been in contact with Potomac and Optics One and they report they not longer inspect or service PLRF 10's, 15's, or Terrapin.

Anyone had any luck with 3rd party repair on these things and can you please post that info if so?

Thanks!

I’m sure you’ve done this but just make sure it’s got fresh batteries before you go through too much trouble. Disappointing to here as I have a plrf10

What you have there sir is a very expensive brick.

Vectronix strikes again

I thought I read some lone electronics guy was offering to fix these?

Leica has one that does 3500 now? not that it helps in this situation.

 

[Bender]

Lots of good options now. Main shortcoming with almost all of them is the 1500 laser is NV invisible and most commercial lasers show up like crazy under NODS.

Anyone even come close to vectronix yet?

Your correct, but he had some quirky shit he was posting about it and didnt seem like he was connecting all the dots. IIRC it was mostly geared to the older Terrapins that he could fix? Ill see if I can search it up, but the thread/repairs didnt gain much traction

Just speculation, but early terrapins were 1535nm. And frequently had issues with display failure.

How early? I have a 2014 vintage Terrapin and it’s 905nm.

 

[918v]

I don’t think so.
