Sig Canyon RF Binos

Anyone have a good review or experience with these? Haven’t found much out there about them.

Trash, a workable budget solution, or much better than their price suggests?

I suspect that there are some serious drawbacks at about half the price of most of its competition, but I’m not rich, so if they are actually pretty decent, I’d be interested to know that as well.

Anyone used them?

Have a pair of the Kilo3000 which are very similar.

Priced for some budget in mind but not skimped on what they offer. Don't have the "high end" HD glass, but range finding is fast and accurate.

Tagging in as I am also interested in the canyon RF…and any feedback. I’m hoping someone reports they are “good enough” as for me, that’s all I’m looking for. Budget minded trash glass is fine for me, I don’t need to count tines or rings…just a relatively accurate reading

We've sold many of these Sig Sauer CANYON 10x42 Rangefinding Binoculars with good feedback. Nothing fancy for for the price it's a great option. If an 8x40 works for you look at the GPO RANGEGUIDE 8x40 Binoculars ( DEMO ) which is optically superior

I've ran these since last April for NRL hunter and a hunting season now and they've worked pretty well. I've never looked through better glass than a Vortex Viper so I can't say anything on quality but they seemed adequate enough for me. Overall impression is mediocre glass with a great range finder, for the $450 I paid I'm happy

I just found a set on sale and it’s tempting. Anybody else have a review?

For NRL they were pretty good, fast laser, never had issues finding targets from coloring (like others say about the 10ks). During mule deer season the glass quality definitely left me wanting better but I still found them. The built in preset ballistic profiles were probably close enough for most people. Overall I’d give them a B for my uses and a pretty great value for a beginner level RF bino. I was pleased enough that I may keep them as a backup after I upgrade

I did recently pick up the 8x40 GPOs that cameraland has on sale and if you can swing some extra money and don’t need ballistics I think they’re pretty sweet after 1 range day. The targets seemed to pop versus the sig canyon glass

If not swinging for the fences on RF binos, I would try to get into some Vortex or Leupold used. At least with those binos you're fully covered if you drop them or lenses get scratched. The Sig "Infinite" warranty only covers the function of factory parts, not accidents or damage. Worse, if you scratch a lens or bust something, I've heard Sig can't even repair them since they don't build anything themselves - you're SOL. Someone posted here about trying to PAY Sig to repair a lens on the Zulu6's and Sig said sorry, buy a new pair, pound sand.

For this warranty reason I'm really looking for alternatives to Sig now.
