Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

[Darkphage]

Just had to tell you all how much I love my new terrapin!

3005 yards reading yesterday was my longest (mid-day overcast conditions)

Got all kinds of 2000 to 2500 yard readings.

Great product! To anyone thinking about it -- get one you'll love it.

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

I can't get much past 4500-meters with mine (side of a mountain after sunset, and below timber line). Damn thing, I'm going to have to throw it in the trash.

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

I asked Rob Ferlong what the best rangefinder was and he said to look at Vectronix. I found their site but no pricing! Where did you get yours from and what did it cost. Im looking for one. Thanks for the info!

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

I got to play with a Gunwerks LRF the other day... it did pretty well out to 1500, but it could only range my 1800 yd target 1 out of 3 attempts. Rocks or other objects at 1800 could not be ranged at all... I thought for $1600 one is far better off getting the Terrapin for $1800. The aiming reticle on the Terrapin is far smaller letting you really zero in on your range.

However, the Gunwerks has a ballistic calculator built in... however, I trust my Shooter app more than their built in app, since I can easily tweak my BCs and MV's on the fly.

I'm enjoying mine!

For the first time I know exactly how far my steels are past 600Y and how far the distant hills are. One of these days I'll hike a steel up one of them.

I hate it when I can range a moving semi truck @ 6K

Is that all?.....grin!

I ranged a Redtail Hawk(in flight)with my Vector 21 at 3300 meters. It also told me it was 371 meters above the ground.....

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

I'm really happy with my Terrapin too. Bought it in a group buy here at Sniper's Hide. Good customer service and quick delivery.

Steeping up to a high quality rangefinder has been the biggest factor for me to extend my shooting to pass 1000 yards.

 

[cali_tz]

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

yep, Terrapin is god send to us ELR practitioners. Getting $6 a piece 338LM rounds on target quickly with the Terrapin is a way to financially justify the $2K expense!

Now my next gadget will be that laser aberration scope that reads wind conditions between me and my target.

EuroOptic sells them too.

WOW... looks like an upgrade is in my future.

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

Yeah, cause I hate using Kentucky windage when I'm shootin hawks out if the air beyond 3k.

yep Alina gave me a price of $1875 this morning + $20 shipping

 

[jonthomps]

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

These things seem to be all the rage right now. I thought my Leica 1600 was doing good to get readings at 1300-1400! I may have to upgrade.

 

[petesp]

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

Upgrade definitely in the future.

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

Was out ranging deer last night in the soya fields with my Terrapin, sitting in my car on the dirt roads and using my elbows for supoort I ranged deer at 1201 yards, the soya was belly high to the deer and there was a corn field behind the deer at 1258 yards. Every time the deer moved a bit I would get the range of it, the Terrapin is awsome I new I was ranging the deer! Not like my Swaro which was a big guess at those ranges in flat land.

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

I've been doing some reading and this rangefinder is definitely in my future.

 

[Chiller]

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

it will range things that are beyond any caliber I have.

Re: Vectronix -- rubbin it in!

I can't afford a Vetronix Terrapin (sob). But my older Bushnell LRF broke and Bushnell will sell me the Fusion 1600 binos for a very low price as a 'consolation' so I'll get them. ("Poor Man's long range LRF".)

I read that they have excellent ranging in even poor conditions. Good enuf fer me until I hit the lottery.
