    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    The laser emitter module is outside of the barrels in the Geovid series. I believe this was probably primarily done to aid the process of reticle / laser alignment though it may also decrease the compromises necessary on the coatings of some of the lenses. The laser receiver utilizes the lens...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I asked Nick about this. The Vector X's do not have a compass calibration menu. Instead they are basically always calibrating and keeping track of how well calibrated they think they are. There is actually an internal running expected error range estimation. When that error range gets larger...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    Update 9-15-2024 I have finished up and posted the Sig Kilo10k-ABS HD Gen II review. I was quite impressed with how much improvement in the user experience resulted from the removal of the blue tint present in the Gen I units. There were a number of other improvements and refinements as well...

    Calypso ultrasonic wind meter

    Thanks for the idea. I ran the configurator update from the configurator app Wednesday. After doing so, the wind meter would immediately disconnect from the anemotracker app the moment it connected. If I tried to connect it back to the configurator app, it would hand on the connection screen and...

    Precision Rifle Cleaning Kit - What are you using?

    Patch out solvent, dewey brass rods, tipton ultra jag set, pro-shot bronze brushes and cotton patches, a variety of bore guides, cheap teslong bore scope, empty fruit juice bottle over the muzzle to catch the patches, splatter, and smell. Hornady does a podcast series on cleaning BTW. I believe...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    The center of the beam in my unit is about .5 mils right of the center of the reticle and perhaps .2 or so high. I have marked the spot in the below image. I have slipped a little hand drawn diagram of this into the rangefinder pouch in case I forget. Fortunately, the Vector's reticle has fine...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    For a couple years now I have been attempting to range a giant causeway and bridge across one of the reservoirs local to me here in central Ohio. I have probably fired well over 100 beams at every part of the bridge and causeway over the years without ever getting a return in daylight. I was...

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    This thread has essentially been moved over to the one Frank started at X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions. There are actually a couple Vector X zombie threads floating around. They really should be all combined or perhaps these abandoned ones just locked.

    2024 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: PurePrecision, Precision Straight-Walled Cartridge Rifle, Proof, XTPS trigger, Levels

    Update 8-24-2024 I believe I am finished doing the testing on the G2 Sig 10k binos and I’m probably around half way though writing up the review. I took a lot of different comparison photos between the G1 and G2 units in order to find one that I think best illustrates the color difference...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    I believe I have finished up my testing on the G2 10k unit and I'm about half way though writing the review. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up the writing over the next couple days. Just as I did with the original 10k unit I played around a little ranging at night and was able to range the...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I do not have to hold the range button down a few seconds to wake the unit. Just pressing the range button wakes it up. It does not have to be held. After pressing to wake, It does then take a second to boot up at which point pressing the range button again ranges. This is not different than on...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    I know a lot of folks are interested in comparison photos between the G1 and G2 10k units. I believe this is a good comparison that captures the difference well. Also, as an added bonus, just as in the famous Monty Python "How not to be seen" skit, there are in fact two people in these photos...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    Yes, the Vector X glass is in the league of Leica geovids. When compared to my Geovid Pro 32's the Vector X showed slightly more resolution and had a bigger FOV. Both optics were quite good and about equivalent on chromatic aberration and I thought the Geovids had a bit more contrast and were...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    They will certainly me mentioned as optical and ranging comparisons in each others reviews. I'm not planning on writing a separate direct comparison article though.

    The are not totally tubular. The diameter at the very end where they interface with your eye socket after a sharp taper for the last quarter inch is 1.68". Once you reach what looks like the full diameter, about .25" from the end the diameter is 1.76". This gradually tapers to 1.77" at the base...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    I spent some time at a nature reserve today with this years two laser range finding binos I have on hand for review, the Gen 2 Sig 10k and Vectronix Vector X. The idea was basically so spend some time in nature with the little one, get some pretty photos though the binos, and do a little...

    Update 8-13-2024 Marsupial sadness, bring back the bungee! Some of you may remember that I did an addendum to my 2022 review of the Leica Geovid Pro’s to complement how much I liked the Marsupial Gear No-Mag enclosed binocular pack. I went to pick up a second one this year only to find they...
