    Sig Kilo 10k Gen 2 Review

    Sig Kilo 10k Gen 2 Review Part III Other Features Two other features worth mentioning that carry over from the 8k and the gen 1 are the mapping integration and the continued Kestrel connection. The mapping integration itself is unchanged, however OnX has jumped onboard now, which is a pretty...

    Sig Kilo 10k Gen 2 Review

    Sig Kilo 10k Gen 2 Review Part II Optics Unlike a CRF that functions strictly as a range-finding device, we are talking about a binocular here, so, unlike the CRF, the bino RF has to excel in two areas, a one trick pony will not do. That is, you are not carrying just a ranging device, it is...

    Sig Kilo 10k Gen 2 Review

    Introduction A few years back, Sig got into the nascent bino-rangefinder market with their first release, the Sig 3k. The goal of that project was to put out a bino with mid-tier glass (sort of Viper HD level glass), coupled with a killer rangefinder for a price more people could afford. At...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Thanks! I doubt that they will on the 8k. The reason is that while it's suboptimal, CRF's have only 1 job....that's ranging. Binos, ranging is arguably the lessor of the two priorities, and the blue tint and lack of contrast really impacted the primary use for binos...finding game etc...

    Zeiss v6 elevation limitation

    Yeah, I would love to have different rifles for the purposes, but at the moment, not really in the tax bracket to have two great rifles. So I'm putting together (hoping) one top drawer gun rather than 2 half measures. If I do go the 3-18 route, any thoughts on the Leica Amplus? I can get a...

    Zeiss v6 elevation limitation

    Thanks for the replies! The reason I'm trying to get to 70 MOAish is because when I get to Colorado every year, I get the chance to shoot longer. Before Elk season starts, after checking zero, we usually go to a particular canyon and get the chance to shoot out to a mile or more, something I...

    Zeiss v6 elevation limitation

    I am looking into a scopes for a future mainly hunting build. I looked through various scopes and though the 4-32 NX8 ticks a lot of boxes for me (a little heavy for my general purpose though), my main issue that is ruling it out for me is the reticle. I shoot SFP, and my eyes are not the...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    Direction, Environmentals, Wind, and Kestrels In terms of environmental data, the Razor measures direction of fire, angle, temperature, and pressure and feeds that to the onboard solver. Nothing new here. And as I mentioned, it also offers the option of gathering the environmental data from a...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    Ranging The ranging on the Fury AB was pretty good, but to be honest, the Razor CRF, at least the unit I had, is clearly stronger, which, considering the much smaller receptor diameter, surprised me. The sensor is basically a horizontal oval with a divergence measurement of 1.5mrad wide and...

    Razor HD 4000 GB Review

    A while back, I got a chance to test out a set of Vortex Fury AB binos and was pretty impressed. So when I saw that they had a new CRF in the Razor lineup that included full environmentals, a new ballistics engine, their wind capture system, and some form of a connection to a Kestrel, I was...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Part II Display Another new innovation in the 8k concerns the display. Due to the technology previously utilized in rangefinder displays, what could be output on a screen was limited to a few preset items, and placement of everything was static and the space was exclusive. Like old digital...

    Sig Kilo 8k Review

    Introduction A few years back, Sig made quite a splash with the release of their 2400 ABS CRF. It boasted ranging capabilities that were impressive for its time, if not class leading, but its real competitive advantage was its internal full Applied Ballistics suite, which made it arguably the...

    New Sig Kilo 5k Release

    Yeah, for sure, I sometimes have my Kestrel's compass go off, so I have to periodically re-calibrate. That said, I've never had the same problem with the one on my Leicas, so don't know what's up there. Hopefully this one will work more like my Leica. In terms of the mapping, you would have...

    New Sig Kilo 5k Release

    Sig released their newest RF, the Kilo 5k, to the market this morning. It is apparently the first in a new line of RF's they will be bringing to market. It has a lot of impressive features pulled from their current lineup including onboard environmentals, continued BDX and Kestrel/Foretrex...

    Sig BDX Scope Review

    Depends what you mean....the Kestrel can only pair to the RF. But you can pair the RF to the Kestrel and then when you range, the RF will talk to the kestrel, get the solution back and then display that solution in the RF and also light up the appropriate hold in the scope. So if I understand...
