Lol. “I have a relationship with this company and a low subscriber count but I’ll totally give an honest review”. I expect a lot more of these in the next few weeks before seasons kick off.
Some of these sponsorship deals should come with knee pads.

I just ordered a pair of 14x pros directly from sig. I will write a follow up after I have used them for a couple weeks. I hope they are a good upgrade from the 12x hdx for the weight penalty. But I currently run 10x swaro el ranges that are over 30 oz.

If anybody finds these with a promo code that works for a little discount, I'll be purchasing as well and would be happy to provide an opinion on these as a direct comparison to the Zulu6 12x42's of which I ran last year. Just need a little bit of a bump to not pay full price.

I got my 18's this week finally. I'll try to compare them to the 16's this weekend in the field.

Cameraland has them mispriced I think at $100 off. The Get Deal button on scopelist went away once they sold out quickly, but it was about $30 more than cameraland for me.

I need to do more testing. Not a huge slam dunk unfortunately.

First impressions were that the 18's are significantly heavier and larger. Tolerable I guess.

Glassing up some bulls about 2000+ yds away, I was surprised that I could resolve antler tines with my 16's but not new 18's. Color was richer with new 18's.

Not definitive though and couldn't get my phone to focus right for a pic. My 16's are a slight bit more dialed in with the right eye diopter, but I don't think the difference should be huge there.

I might actually prefer the old scan and target modes over the omniscan deal? With worse battery life and form factor alone, I might have to say I prefer the regular HDXs

Haven't tested low light yet but will this weekend.

Just to clarify, you're comparing the 16x42 vs the 18x50?
