I browsed a couple older threads on this but thought I would bring it back up...
I borrowed a buddy's Sig Kilo10k for an NRL shoot recently. It was my first run at using a RF binocular, so I'm completely new to it.
My first impression was that the image color fidelity was pretty terrible. Such that I had to look away and look back to confirm it was so different from my eye. I couldn't imagine them being my sole binocular for long periods of glassing. I think these were an earlier generation than what is currently available. Looking at other people's gear, there were definitely a lot of guys using these.
For identifying and ranging targets they were great. The ballistic correction and DA information in the optic definitely made it faster to make scope adjustments.
Are the new Sig 10k's better?
Any experience with the Sig Canyons? I don't really care about the ability to set waypoints with the fancier options, that's something I'm pretty unlikely to ever use.
How important is density altitude inside of 600 yards? I'm fairly new to long range shooting.
From previous threads, it seems like the Meopta and Leica offerings get good marks. I know Meopta seems to be a bit of a question mark with their recent transitions. Are these options better than the Sig?
How do Burris and Vortex rate in the mix? I do not have Swaro cash...
This isn't an immediate need for me, and I would have to liquidate some other gear to justify the purchase. I'm just trying to get a gauge for where and what to research.
My main sticking point with any options would be that it needs to be fully able to fill the role of both a traditional binocular and rangefinder. Glass has to be good, RF has to be on par with a standalone.
I'm not sure whether I need them to provide corrections in the optic. It's easy enough to check my chart.
Let me know what you guys think.
