Glad you liked it! Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by how useful the additional tech actually is. And I think there is a lot more than can be done, especially in terms of pushing the tech upwards in their line...coarse, the price would probably be a problem for someone in my tax bracket!
Sig BDX Scope Review Continued
Final Impressions
When I got my first demo on the BDX system, I was really focused on the RF integration with the Kestrel, something I had really been wanting to see for a while. To be honest, when Sig showed me the scope integration during that demo, I...
Sig BDX Scope Review Continued
To try and figure out what was going on here, I looked at the aero jump and Coriolis numbers that the Kestrel included in it’s solution, and they were near zero based on our DOF etc. So that does not appear to be the reason the drops were off just a bit. So I...
Sig BDX Scope Review Continued
Optics
At this time, the scopes in the BDX line are variants of the Sierra 3 scopes. The scope I had for testing was their 4.5-14 x44, which as a 30mm tube. They also have a 3.5 -10 as well as a 6-18 in the line, but I requested the 4.5-14 as a good middle of...
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...
Hey Hamilton,
I just saw this. Been working on a review of the BDX scope/integration, but have some up on the two Leica B model CRF's, and also the 2400 BDX on this board. Read through if you like and perhaps will answer your questions on the functions and differences.
But to answer...
Thanks for the heads up, that's a good price, but I think cutting my Harris down to size has solved my issue. Though I was thinking of maybe doing a review on the various pods later this year if I can make the time, so might pick one up just to see how it works.
You bet...one tip I mentioned in the review, I think...to get the best out of your rf, make sure you test to find where your sensor actually is in relation to the reticle. Once you figure that out, you'll be much more successful in ranging.
Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out if you have...
Hey JB,
Just seeing this today. I have a review of that RF up on this board here: https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/sig-bdx-system-review-2400-bdx-part-1a.117566/#post-1108775
Should answer most of your questions, but feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions...
Thanks for the recommendation! But what I am looking for is something I can use to shoot from a seated position. I wish they made a notched leg one that goes to 25", but they don't to my knowlege.
What would be really cool is if you could set a 'stop'. So you could get something that goes 27...
It is, but I think I figured out the problem well enough for us. The issue is that we should have bought the 25 in the first place, but I did not know they made a 25, only a 27 and a 23.5. A 25 allows us to pull the legs out to full extension and be good to go for a sitting shot.
What I did...
Been looking at those too....they seem to have some very interesting capabilities. Wonder how they would do on very long shots on steel and rocks. Probably have to be more of a hunting solution, then switch to something stiffer for other stuff, but not sure.
Will check out that Vanguard....long and short, I made a mistake when I bought the Harris...I thought there was only a 23.5 and a 27. What I needed was a 25. I see now that there is a 25 available, the difference between the 25 and the 27 is only the last segment leg. I called Harris to see...
Thanks for that info, it's definitely on my radar. Someone else told me to check out the Snippod by KDC. So I am looking at that too, as it's a bunch cheaper.
But Hatch is definitely on my mind. May need to re-stock or even replace my son's rifle this year, also want to maybe pick up a...
Deerkiller,
Thanks for the response! I currently have a Harris 27" bipod, primos sticks, and treking poles with clamp locks....of course a tripod for a spotter etc. as well. I worked last year getting good at long range, but realized my 'shorter range, get the shot off from sighting the...
We use the tall Harris on our rifles so that we can shoot seated from the ground off bipods. With a pack in your lap supporting the back of the rifle, I find this a very accurate solution for long range shooting in the field. It's great for, really, any shots.
The issue I have is that...
