Thinking about buying one of these, but would like to know more about the LRF functionality while in use. For the LRF, can you change the rangefinder crosshairs to a dot and can you move it to somewhere else on the screen? As I was watching Korey's videos on YouTube, I thought having the X there for the rangefinder was kind of distracting. I'm sure I could get used to it, but I'd prefer to have an uncluttered sight picture when tracking a running animal for a quick follow-up shot. I saw that there is a 1m, 5m, etc. "time out" for the X being there, but how easy is it to bring it up quickly and shut it off again? I'm hoping it's just a matter of pressing a single button to toggle it on and off. I guess I don't know how much I'd really need or use the LRF in practice. I like that the Yoter R uses two CR123 instead of four AAs and it's 8-10oz lighter. Since Bering doesn't seem to offer a 35mm LRF model, I can potentially save a grand as well by cross-shopping the 35mm R model with the 50mm LRF, leaving me a good chunk of change to put towards something else like an iRay RH25 for dedicated scanning and/or clip-on capability. I feel like I might actually appreciate the more versatile 35mm objective lens, and at the same time, I think the LRF just makes more sense on the Yoter 50 because it has 3x magnification. I could see myself being happy with both, assuming the LRF functionality doesn't actually cause me more grief than it helps. Finally, with the R 35mm, can you still do custom BCD reticles with the EOTech-style vertical dots like I saw in the LRF 50mm video? I'm wondering if this reticle combined with the ranging line feature would still make for a quick coyote dropper...maybe quicker since the ranging lines and animal symbol are off to the side instead of basically right on top of the main aiming reticle? Thanks in advance for any insight you can give! |

As for moving the LRF box, no it is in a static position of the screen to correlate to the aiming point of the laser. I guess I don't know how much I'd really need or use the LRF in practice. I like that the Yoter R uses two CR123 instead of four AAs and it's 8-10oz lighter. The LRFs add more than just the LRF. The additional features include: 1) LRF: 1200 yards (My testing: 1300 yards on large objects, 1100 on small objects, and 900 yards on flat terrain) 2) Image: Increased image detail 3) Housing: Metal alloy housing (which is stronger, heavier, and about 1" longer) 4) Zoom: Increase and decrease zoom, 1-8x stepped zoom, and .5x incremental 5) Video: Improved video quality with audio 6) Buttons: 4 vs 3 with seperate power button 7) Reticles: 4 FFP, 4 SFP reticles and the ability to create your own CUSTOM reticle 8) Backgrounds: Additional target/highlight hot background 9) Profiles: 4 gun profiles and 3 distance profiles per gun 10) Battery: 4 AA batteries 11) USB: Super strong and reliable magnetic connection for power and data transfer 12) LRF: Bering can mount it on the left or right side Since Bering doesn't seem to offer a 35mm LRF model, I can potentially save a grand as well by cross-shopping the 35mm R model with the 50mm LRF, leaving me a good chunk of change to put towards something else like an iRay RH25 for dedicated scanning and/or clip-on capability.

I could see myself being happy with both, assuming the LRF functionality doesn't actually cause me more grief than it helps. The 35mm SY is very versatile and can be used as a weapon's sight and/or a scanner due to the FOV and how compact and light it is.

As for a custom reticle, the ability for a user to create a custom reticle is only available at this time on the LRF models. The same 8 reticles (4 FFP and 4 SFP) exist across all the rest of the scopes. |
