    Stay away. If you intend to spend money on that gadget, get one that works properly: IEA BC01.

    Just look at the BORS sensor specs and you'll get the drift...

    Why do you want one?
    Are you incapable of ranging and dialing your scope?
    You still have to adjust for windage so whats the point?
    Spend that extra money on a better scope and rangefinder
