barebones1 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bushnell 202540KC Elite 1 Mile Conx Laser Rangefinder with Kestrel Sportsman ? Going to shoot PRS next season. I got my primary and back up rifles setup for next season. I worked as a RO for a match this year and shot the 2 gun series this year @ C.O.R.E ( my home range ) Both rifles are shooting sub MOA. I am going to take the intro to PRS and intro to long range classes, before my first match. So I have a good beginners foundation and been coming up to speed with gear for spring. My questions are electronics related. the bushnell/kestrel combo is what I am looking @ Any input would be great! thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I have both devices. The Kestrel is indispensable. The rangefinder is a fine piece of equipment but has not been as useful because so far all PRS matches I have attended have targets at known distances.

Tacticalpanda Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I own the Bushnell. Imo don't need them paired. I think you should carry a range finder as I find at most matches the distances arent always correct so its good to verify. If i was going to buy a new range finder I would probably do a Leica. The Bushnell is a bit big but works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barebones1 Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Most of the larger retailers are running this combo "package" in the $1100 range. Bushnell 202540KC Elite 1 Mile Conx Laser Rangefinder with Kestrel Sportsman . Seems to be a good beginners starting point. All the reviews for the Leica were good. As were the Gunwerx all in one. But @ $1700 , I was hoping this combo would get me thru my first year or two. And starting a " better future rifle fund" would be the way to go.

Brownells had it for 279 plus an additional 20 off. 299 and under is way to find. Can get that same package for well under $1k now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prwillard2 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The Sig 2400 has most of the ballistic stuff built in. They did testing on long range hunting, and the results were nearly identical (within 0.1 mrad) when using a kestrel and another ballistic app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
