Just wanted to give a brief review of these glasses. First of all, I give them a 4 out of 10. When compared to Sig Kilo 10k Gen II they really can’t even compare. Glass quality on the Leica is slightly better at best. The dimensions or horrible and will require you to get a larger bino pack because of the ridiculous bridge/laser housing. During testing, my battery lasted one day. This is likely only 500 ranges. When attempting to use the OnX mapping and tracking feature, I was successful 3 out of 10 times at best. Compare this to Sig BDX app which worked every time. The laser on the Leica is also not even comparable. The circle reticle on the binos is terrible and you cannot change it. When using the Sig 8k and Leica’s on a tripod, I was only able to range deer at 865 yards in a field 7 out of 10 times at best with the Leica. 100% of the time with the Sig. I was unable to range the same deer free handed with the Leica. Because of the circle reticle, it is difficult to insure you are ranging what you’re aiming at. The range button is too stiff and will generate movement when you press it. There is also a 3 yard difference between them and Sig at 500 yards. The display is similar to a 1980’s alarm clock. As a professional hunter and rifle builder, I would never recommend these binos to anyone. They are subpar, unreliable, and extremely over priced.
 
Yup. I agree. Sigs by far the best rangefinder. But still prefer the Zeiss and Swaros RF’s over them all.
I just can’t get past the glass even in the new Sigs, and the Leica shape is so odd. Terrible.
