The Ruger Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter comes with a library of pre-measured Ruger rifles and commonly available match-grade ammunition accessible in the app, allowing you to simply select your Ruger rifle and cartridge, then start making first-round hits on long-range targets!

The Ruger 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter works with your factory Ruger rifle to give you the confidence to shoot further, in the wind, at any altitude, right out of the box.

The Ruger Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter is the ideal shooting tool for stretching your reach—this unit helps you to experience the same long-range accuracy typical of a custom-built rifle at an off-the-shelf price. It just plain works -- right out of the box. This exclusive model comes with a library of pre-measured Ruger rifles and match-grade ammunition available in the app, allowing you to simply select your Ruger rifle and cartridge then start making first-round hits on long-range targets! Kestrel Ballistics Weather Meters provide precise aim points that account for bullet drop and wind drift to get you on target on the first shot.

The Ruger Kestrel 5700 is the ideal companion to your Ruger rifle for experiencing the highest level of accuracy and performance on long distance shots.

Providing the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability as the original Kestrel Ballistics Weather Meters, this integrated weather meter and ballistics solver takes the guesswork out of long-range shooting and is the perfect tool for hunters, competitive, and recreational shooters working to stretch their reach in long-range shooting.

The free Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app for Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app for Android or the Kestrel Link Ballistics app for iOS provides the ability to build Gun Profiles with any type of rifle and bullet combination. Build and manage your gun/bullet profiles and download them to your Kestrel 5700 before you set out. At the range or match, secure your Kestrel 5700 to a tripod using the optional Kestrel Vane Mount and use the app to quickly adjust the target range and view the shooting solution and wind rose without leaving your shooting position.

In addition to the ballistics solver and LiNK connectivity capabilities, the Kestrel 5700 is a comprehensive weather meter for measurement and logging of primary environmental conditions: wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, heat index, pressure and altitude. Paired with the Vane Mount, the Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter becomes a compact, easily-deployable weather station. Your data log can be transferred to a iOS/Android device wirelessly with the LiNK and Kestrel LiNK app, or to a Windows/Mac device with either the accessory Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (Both sold separately).

A range of carry pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel 5700 with you.

Product Questions

Typically this will happen if the Kestrel is placed near a magnet or magnetic source. Things such as the MagnetoSpeed Riflekuhl or other chamber chillers, electronic hearing protection, or maybe even magnetic buttons on your pocket. Any magnet can affect the compass calibration. Also storing the Kestrel in a metallic enclosure such as a gun safe can have an affect on the compass calibration.

No. You can only pair the Kestrel to the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app as a one-to-one connection. You can connect to a laser rangefinder and the Kestrel HUD simultaneously however.
