    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

    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

    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...

    Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Review

    Whenever a new rangefinder comes out, the first thing I usually look at these days is what does it do with the data. There are a lot of RF’s out there, and most of the flagship models for each company are doing pretty well in the ranging department. No, they usually do not hit deer at their...

    Sig BDX and Leica RF freeze test

    On another thread, the question came up this morning about some RF's not working well in freezing conditions, and there was some question around how the BDX system would work under freezing conditions, particularly in terms of communication and also being able to see the dots. Some had heard...

    New Rangefinders and Optics from Leica

    Leica has ramped up their rangefinder iterations and released some significant improvements to their line. Yes, there is more distance, in the case of the CRF, lots more. But the changes are actually a lot more significant from what I am seeing because they include improvements to a lot of the...

    BDX updates from Sig

    Sig has made some updates to the BDX system that they are calling 'BDX 2.0', and also released a couple new scopes. I posted the thread here in the scopes section, as most of the news is around them, but there are some changes to the overall BDX system as well, although I don't think it will...

    Rifle Scopes New BDX Scopes and Updates from Sig

    Sig has made some additions and changes to their BDX line for 2020 that I thought I would pass on. They are committed to the system, as it plays to their strengths in integrating technology and optics and I think we’ll see more and more products with this capability as time rolls on. For now...

    Sig 3000BDX Review

    Introduction When Sig released their BDX line, I was pretty excited by the capabilities of the 2400, especially in terms of it’s connectivity and price point. Shortly after, I learned that a bino version was coming out, but I was not all that interested, figuring the cost would be entirely too...

    Sig BDX Scope Review

    The BDX system is precipitated on several concepts. Speed, connectivity, integration, flexibility, choice. All of these are achieved through the application of technology. For some shooters, this is something they don’t want. Others are comfortable with some, but not all, of what the system...

    Leica 2800.COM Initial Hands On Review

    Back in the early fall, I was asked by Leica to test and provide feedback on a new their new rangefinder, the 2800.COM, that was announced today at SHOT. As I understand it, mine was one of the first 5 built and brought into the US, so was not a pre-production, but earlier still in the process...

    Leica 2700b Review Update

    With the start of the hunting season, I had a chance to do a little more testing with my 2700b and thought I would pass on a few interesting things I observed. As far as reach goes, I got ahold of a tripod mount made by Leica. Very nicely made, it allowed me to test some ranging out at Big...

    Questions for Sig Optics and/or Leica?

    I have been in contact with Sig and they were kind enough to share a bunch of info around their BDX line with me. However, I am hoping to get a chance to have a longer interview with one of their product managers to get more in depth info around the product line and future releases. Also am...

    Sig puts the electro in electo-optics

    Just got back from NRA where I was able to meet with a contact at Sig and spend some time going over their newest RF/Scope offerings. He is going to send me access to their Google drive file with more details (I could not remember everything he showed and told me), so I 'll have more to post on...
