Sig Kilo10k Gen 2 vs Swarovski EL range/TA

[Profiler]

Price not an issue.
My level of expertise is basically distance and elevation needed data only. I’m not shooting anything over 600 -800 yards.

Feature wise: ergonomics, size, weight, low light visibility, are keys for me.

Are the Swarovski worth the coin extra or would the gen 2 kilo10 work?

i've been very happy with the kilo10k. I know there is better glass but the difference between the two would mostly be seen at first and last light

I think if you are accustomed to premium glass, and your glassing when your suppose to be. You’ll be a little disappointed in the sig glass at first and last light.
I’m running a pair and that’s my only grip. But I’m also used to 10x50 swaros for the past 5 years.
If you don’t shoot a lot, and are not stretching it out, I’d go swaro for what you want.

What did you end up getting? Looking at these two right now. Would like to get my hands on them.

Had the vortex fury hd 5000 AB for a season. They are adequate. Just sold them and will pick up the el range 10x42 before November.

Currently own both, if not needing to range past 800 the ELs are hands down the winner.

The new 12x42 el ranges seem legit

Do the EL'S not range past 800 yards on deer sized game?

Yes they do, that was just the max range he stated needing.

The 10k's have the best range finder/ballistics on the market.

The El Ranges are by far the superior glass.

If your only going out to 800 yards, you won't be limited by the El Range's rangefinder and ballistics. That's the route I would go.

The 10k Gen 2 glass is better, but not on par with the Swaro/Leica's.
