Why buy from B&B

Because you work directly with a family-run business that cares about getting it right.

B&B Firearms is built on faith, family, service, and real product knowledge. When you buy here, you are not supporting a giant corporation — you are working with a veteran-owned family business that values honesty, guidance, and doing right by people.

The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and LiNK is one of the most trusted ballistic weather meters for long range shooters, precision rifle owners, hunters, competitors, and professional users who need accurate firing solutions in real-world conditions.

Built with the Applied Ballistics Elite solver, the Kestrel 5700 Elite helps shooters calculate elevation and windage corrections using real-time environmental data, advanced drag models, and key ballistic corrections. Instead of relying on generic weather apps or guesswork, the 5700 Elite gives shooters accurate wind, air density, temperature, humidity, pressure, and altitude data directly from the firing position.

With LiNK Bluetooth connectivity, the Kestrel 5700 Elite can connect to the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app, allowing shooters to build and manage gun profiles, transfer ballistic data, adjust target information, and access Applied Ballistics custom drag models. LiNK-enabled units can also pair with compatible laser rangefinders to integrate target data directly into the ballistic solution for faster, more efficient shooting.

The Kestrel 5700 Elite is built on the rugged Kestrel 5 Series platform, featuring a high-resolution display, dual-color backlight, AA battery operation, durable polycarbonate lens, and field-ready construction. It is drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof, and designed to withstand harsh range, hunting, match, training, and field environments.

For shooters building a complete long range rifle system, the Kestrel 5700 Elite with Applied Ballistics and LiNK is one of the most important tools you can add to your kit.

Kestrel 5700 Elite for Long Range Shooting

The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and LiNK is designed for shooters who want a complete ballistic calculator and environmental meter in one rugged handheld device. At long range, conditions such as wind, temperature, humidity, pressure, density altitude, and bullet drag all affect where a round impacts. The Kestrel 5700 Elite helps shooters collect real-time environmental data and turn that information into reliable elevation and windage corrections.

What makes the Kestrel 5700 Elite so valuable is the integration of Applied Ballistics Elite. This gives shooters access to advanced ballistic modeling, custom drag curves, and corrections for important effects like spin drift, aerodynamic jump, Coriolis, and drop scale factoring. For serious rifle shooters, this level of data can help create a more accurate and repeatable ballistic solution.

The 5700 Elite is also built for shooters using multiple rifles, calibers, or ammunition loads. With storage for up to 30 gun and bullet profiles, shooters can manage different rifle setups inside one device. Whether you are shooting a precision rifle, hunting across open terrain, competing in long range matches, or building a dedicated extreme long range rifle package, the Kestrel 5700 Elite can become a central part of your shooting system.

With LiNK Bluetooth connectivity, the Kestrel 5700 Elite can connect to the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app, compatible mobile devices, computers, and supported laser rangefinders. This allows shooters to manage profiles, update target information, transfer ballistic data, and view solutions more efficiently at the range or in the field.

At B&B Firearms, we recommend the Kestrel 5700 Elite for shooters who want a proven, field-ready ballistic weather meter with Applied Ballistics, rugged construction, and advanced long range shooting features. Pair it with a quality rifle, scope, ammunition, chronograph data, and verified dope to build a more complete long range shooting setup.
