Absolutely awesome product. Works exactly as advertised. My only complaint is that the product cannot be dimmed enough for early morning or late evening. The display lighting almost completely blocks out the target making it difficult or impossible to acquire a correct range in these low light conditions.

In our field use the G7 BR2 consistently ranged targets at a mile and beyond. Ranging 2km from a steady position was common even in bright sun and 2.5km+ was possible in ideal conditions. We tested the firing solutions by pairing it with a variety of accurate rifles and aiming solutions including MOA turrets, BDC turrets/reticles. We also compared the outputs against a variety of common ballistics calculators and against the Kestrel Meter with Horus ballistics software. Our verdict is that the G7 BR2 provides a precise firing solution in field conditions allowing for extremely quick targeting out to the 1400 yd max compensation range. Ultimately we found ourselves combining the G7 with the Kestrel unit to gain 3 key advantages in the field. 1)We always had a cross-reference for our firing solution 2)The Kestrel can measure the wind and provide a solution to compensate for it 3)The Kestrel works for shooting 1400+ yards based on inputting the rangefinder's distance result.
