christel,
I made an enquiry with Richard Paul Russel Ltd in early December 2010. They said they should have these available in mid-January 2011. I've been thinking about ordering one myself but have been waiting to read some reviews first.
The Kestrel 4500NV with Horus ATrag Ballistics Software has a Retail Price of £460.15 and the Bluetooth model is £545.36. These prices exclude VAT.

I thought it was really good they went out to prove that it can be done.

A good mate of mine uses the Kestrel in Afghanistan, although on his last trip his kestrel died as the ambiant temperature was too high!
I guess he'll be issued one in due course, but given his role, I must ask him what the BC of a JDAM is! :lol:

There was a post on here last year re this and Gun Pimp suggested that whoever posted, blag one and write a review for Target Shooter!

Yes that was DM who already uses a Kestrel so he knows half the product already (So to speak)
