Entry Level Kestrel 2700 Announced

Previously Kestrel weather meters have been pretty costly, so much so that they are pretty much out of most shooter’s budgets. The new entry-level Kestrel 2700 aims to change that by offering beginner long-range shooters a solid weather meter at under $180.

Even though the entry-level Kestrel comes in at $220 below the price of the next lowest price Kestrel you still get a very functional piece of kit. As best as I can tell the 2700 has everything a new shooter needs, and nothing they don’t. Sure one of the higher-end models is more feature-packed, but there is nothing wrong with upgrading at a later date.

The Kestrel 2700 carries an MSRP of $179 and is available for pre-order on the Natchez site. You can find more information about the entire Kestrel product line on the Kestrel Instruments website.
