Questar is working on it, waiting on ITAR. I want one for my MH.

Oh man.....there goes another 1200$.....!!!!
It's a little over a pound, but it may be worth the carry.....

I am planning for mine to piggy back my Elcan Specter TR which of course uses external windage and elevation adjustments, so the rangefinder's zero will follow any elevation adjustments made. It will also keep the weight rearward so it is not as noticeable vs a forward side rail location.

Cool concept but how do you know what the rangefinder is actually "looking" at?

Yep... it is a constant output display.
In my terrain, which looked similar to the vid, it is really easy to have stuff inline with the target and the rangefinder can pick up the wrong object. Say you are ranging a deer behind some trees and you are aiming through an opening. I have seen my rangefinder pick up the wrong background and only after a few attempts did I feel comfy I had the "right" range.... and I am looking through the rangefinder aiming point.
When low to the ground, that can be exaggerated and I have had to stand up so that I was looking over the stuff in the way. Mounting the rangefinder above the scope would help this for sure.
Grass would be a huge problem too.
I have used both Leica and Swarovski rangefinders.
If they have resolved the dispersion of the beam, this could be really cool...
Look forward to more feedback.
