New Kilo6k HDX

[bigbuckdj]

Has anyone messed with these? I’m really looking for a relatively simple 8x chest bino-RF. The previous 6ks I messed with fit the bill but I couldn’t look past the blue tint. I’m curious if the HDX glass has that corrected. I am pleased with Geovid-R image but they are chunkier and more expensive.

Did you get 8s or 10s? I gotta know how the blueness ranks. Looking forward to your thoughts

I have the new 10K Gen 2’s I’ve used for 2 months now. Huge improvement over the first Gen

The new 6K HDX will be here Friday.

Do you know if those previous 6ks were the “HD” ? I’m having a hard time sorting through all the various models sig has come out with and currently have the 6k HD. I’m also wondering how much of an improvement the HDXs wil be

I’m pretty sure they were the HD, I messed with the compacts and x42s at TAC a few times.

Bumping this, anybody handled these?

Just got my HDX. Bought the HD about 3 weeks ago. I like everything about the HDX. Seem slightly less bulky, eye cups are better, comes with covers (whereas the HD did not), the focus ring is light years better (the HD is bulky and the materials have a slick feel to them. Glass seems better, I'm a bad one to give an opinion because I don't see the difference in high quality glass, but I'm definitely able to see clearer at longer distances with the HDX. I'm boxing my HD's up right now and will drop them off at Cabela's today.

Thanks for that. I went to check them out at cabelas, they have an eye chart across the store from the optics counter at my cabelas and I compared with trinovids, geovid Rs, vortex furys, and the 6k hdx all in 10x42. I seemed to be able to resolve the same elements with the 6k as I could with the leicas but the contrast was much better on the Trinovids and better on the geovids. The geovids are tanks, furys are chunky but not as much as the geovids and they balanced nicely, the 6ks were pretty compact to me and felt pretty good in the hands . I’m not shocked that the Leicas had better views but the 6k hdx wasn’t as blue as I remember the 6ks and I preferred the image to the furys.

Have you gotten to spend any time with the 6K HDX? How’s the glass?
