I just got my new ABL1000 and was able to pair it to my 4K Pro and "ABL Zero'd" it to an existing profile with no problems...Does it have to be zero'd for each profile? Also, when I turned on balistic's calc and RAV, the scope froze up for the very 1st time ever!!! I had to do a 15 sec re-boot and when it booted back up....I decided to turn off the ballistics calc & RAV...I don't really think rav will work with my .25 cal Benjamin marauder so I'm not going to turn it back on in hopes that it was the culprit that froze the scope. I sure hope it's not the ballistics calculator...
Has anyone using the abl had these issues? I'm running the newest firmware 3.1.06.386 on my 4k Pro for quite some time now without any issues or scope freezing....I'm pretty sure this is still the latest firmware and I shouldn't have any problems with it working with the ABL....Not sure what happened...

I noticed at least one thing I don't like about the ABL. It appears that after doing a "range" reading with the ABL & ballistics calc turned on, the POI shifts and never resets back to a normal POI like before using the ABL & ballistics calculator.
After going out in the field and ranging a few trees and such with the ballistic calc turned on, my ABL cross hair now do not seem to line up with the position of the scope cross hair. Those familiar with the ABL operation know that when you are looking through your scope you see the normal cross hair and when you hit the rear button on the scope touch pad the normal scope cross hairs go away and the ABL cross hairs pop up for a few seconds while it's going through the ranging calculations. After it reads the range it appears that the POI is also reset by the ballistics calculator which is shown as shift point numbers in the bottom left in the scope screen....
Now when I hit the back button on the scope pad to do a range reading, the ABL cross hair is much higher than the scope cross hair if that makes sense. For example, I put the scope cross hair midway up the trunk of a tree at say 50 yards away and when I hit the back button on the scope to do a range reading, the ABL cross hair is a few feet up the tree trunk and never at the same point of the scope cross hair.
If someone has noticed the same type of issue, can they chime-in to help me alleviate any possible operator error with this device....?
The only way I could figure on getting my scope accurate again without the influence of the ABL/ballistic calc shifting my POI would be to erase my internal profiles and reload them back to the scope. Does this make sense?

I’m not sure/ mine just shows up temporarily then goes back to the normal scope reticle. I have a different issue which is the zero function won’t adjust down enough to line up during the zero process. If anyone can suggest whethe this is an error (it’s my second abl after the first one failed to sync properly) or whether I should change the mount location? It is currently mounted on the left side of the scope and I can shift it to the top or right side.

G'day,
I've just bought an ABL 1000. As my shooting and hunting skills have improved I'm taking longer shots beyond my rifle's zero at 155 yards on hares and foxes. Judging holdover is tricky and I hoped that the ABL would reduce my error. I used it last night on a hare that led me around a 60-acre field for 45 minutes before stopping in the open at 279 yards according to the ABL. Having nothing to lose and not being able to get closer I ranged the hare and fired. To my delight [and even great surprise!] I hit it and knocked it over. I've just skinned the hare for dog food and found the entry wound. It is exactly where I held the crosshairs as shown on the video recording.
One thing that is confusing me is that some of the readings on objects like large trees make no sense. I live on a small farm so can practise sighting at objects a long way off. I sighted on one tree and got a reading of 106 yards which I confirmed with another rangefinder. I sighted on an adjacent tree that is at 136 yards from me and in clear space and the reading from the ABL was 190 yards. When I re-ranged the first tree I got the correct reading of 106 yards.

PS. I have now realised that the laser rangefinder is off centre and I must make allowance for this by moving the rifle scope down and left to ensure the laser beam actually scans the target I have chosen. Then I get an accurate reading. I presume there is no way for me to adjust the laser so it emits its beam dead centre in the viewfinder.

G'day quyang,
The ABL on my 4K 3-14 is zeroed, but, as I said in my previous post, the ranging box appears somewhat high to the right in the viewfinder. I've got used to that so that last week I shot a fox at ranged 253 yards. However, the ABL on my ATN X Sight II is centred. That is the ranging box is in line with the reticle. That tends to confirm to me that the alignment of the laser in my first ABL on the 4K scope is incorrect.
I can live with the misalignment.
Jim
