This video spotlights the Alpen Optics Image Stabilized Rangefinder, a pre-production model showcased at the 2026 SHOT Show. The key feature is image stabilization, which combats image bounce for more accurate long-distance measurements. Viewers are directed to Alpen Optics' website for release information. The presentation by Kent Marts of Alpen Optics demonstrates high expertise and enthusiasm for the product.

This video from RECOILtv provides an expert overview of the Leupold BX6 Range HD range-finding binoculars, presented by Skipper from Leupold. The review highlights its integration with the Hornady 4DOF ballistic solver, offering advanced ballistic solutions for shooters. The binoculars feature high-quality optics and connectivity via the Leupold Control App, positioning them as a top-tier electro-optic device for tactical and hunting applications.

This video provides an expert-level demonstration of the Wilcox MRF Xe Micro Rangefinder, showcasing its advanced ballistic solving capabilities. An experienced shooter utilizes the device in conjunction with a high-end precision rifle setup, including an MDT ACC Elite chassis and Leupold Mark 5HD optic, to achieve accurate long-range impacts. The content highlights the device's ability to input custom load data and provide real-time firing solutions for distances exceeding 1000 yards.

This video explains how to estimate target distance using a mil-based reticle in a rifle scope. It details the standard formula: Distance = (Target Size * Constant) / Measured Mils, and provides alternative constants for converting between inches, yards, centimeters, and meters. The instruction emphasizes the importance of knowing target size and accurate mil measurements for effective long-range shooting.

This video explains the utility of mil markings on optics for range estimation, going beyond simple shoulder-width stadia. It highlights that relying solely on average human dimensions can lead to inaccuracies, and understanding mil formulas provides a more precise method for determining distance, especially at longer ranges.

This video demonstrates a sample stage from the NRL Hunter series, focusing on a two-target, two-position scenario. It highlights the importance of efficient stage setup, accurate rangefinding, wind calls, and utilizing the full time allotted to build stable shooting positions. The presenter, Ryder, emphasizes taking advantage of the time to maximize points rather than rushing.

This video provides an in-depth guide to precision long-range shooting, covering rifle selection, optics, ammunition, ballistics calculations, and essential gear. The speaker, with two years of experience and training from top professionals, emphasizes the importance of understanding environmental factors and utilizing ballistic calculators for accurate engagement. The content is geared towards intermediate shooters looking to improve their long-range capabilities.

This YouTube video focuses on a comparison between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Mil-radians (MIL) for long-range shooting. The title, "MOA Sucks! MOA vs. MIL #longrangeshooting," clearly indicates a critical examination and comparison of these two popular measurement systems used in precision shooting. The video aims to educate viewers on the differences and potential drawbacks of MOA, suggesting it may be inferior for certain long-range applications compared to MIL.

This comprehensive review and comparison of the Sig Kilo 10K-ABS HD and Sig Kilo 6K HD laser rangefinding binoculars highlights their strengths and weaknesses. The 10K offers a superior display and menu system with advanced Applied Ballistics Elite software, while the 6K provides better image quality and waterproofing at a lower price point. Both units suffer from advertised range inaccuracies and a lack of integrated accessories.

This guide details various rangefinding techniques for long-range shooting, from BDC reticles and MIL/MOA calculations to modern laser rangefinders and low-tech tools like the Range-R Card. Expert Hop emphasizes that while low-tech methods are useful for area fire, laser rangefinders offer the precision needed for consistent first-round hits at extended distances, considering factors like wind and pressure.

This guide details how to quickly obtain ballistic solutions using the Revic BLR10b rangefinding binocular. It explains two primary modes: 'base wind' for rapid shots under 700 yards, which uses a pre-programmed crosswind value, and 'vector wind' for longer ranges requiring manual wind direction and speed input. The guide also covers how the device displays BDC 'shoot-to' ranges for turret users.

This guide details the installation and initial zeroing of the Scrome J8 optic on an FR-F2 sniper rifle, drawing from expert insights by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. It covers the STANAG mounting system, reticle features like rangefinding and spin drift compensation, and the use of 0.1 mil turrets for precise adjustments. The demonstration includes live fire at 400 meters with 7.62 NATO ammunition, emphasizing proper zeroing techniques for this French military sniper system.
