Look at this, amazing i think.
If they could get a digital range finder incorporated into it rather than using the sidewheel focus then they would be onto a major winner.

Amazing bit of kit. :thumbup:
I wonder if it would work with mamba lite! They are not known for great range finding, at least my one is crap for range finding.

It looks like a fantastic piece of technology to fix a problem I didn't know I had

I had a quick look at this and was impressed with the quality of the PCB and the general engineering. Not quite sure how it has to be calibrated to different scopes as the main function seems to be replacing the engraved marks on the sidewheel with a digital readout. The calculations for inclined shots will help a lot of people and the cant indicator should also be useful.
There are several other functions such as tracking movement of the rifle as you take the shot but it is probably only of much use to air rifle target shooters - with deep pockets if it does come out around the £450 they suggested. If it had a laser rangefinder built in.......?

I was looking for cant and incline indicator on screen display and that worked out around £200 so I gave up.
