Sig Sauer Kilo 10k Gen 2 Rangefinder Binos out!

[dreamingWest]

After 3 attempts I'll never own another Leica Geovid anything. The Fury AB is a way better option if you need ballistics. If you don't, run as fast as you can to the GPO rangeguides......best combo of rf/optics on the planet.

Interesting. I'm curious if you've compared the Meopta Optika LR to the GPO Rangeguides? I'm looking at RF binos in this price range. Or paying up for the Revics.

I have nothing to offer on the Optikas, and am curious myself. Sorry about that.

You had the updated 2022 10x42 version? What issues did you have?

I had the battery cover break rendering it useless. No problem. They sent me a new one. But the fact that it wouldn’t range in the cold or any type of drizzle or snow made them worthless to me.

The 3200.com's, wouldn't range past 200 yds at freezing temps, wouldn't range past 600 or so no matter what. I will also say that the interface between those models and the Leica ballistic app was pathetic. Took Leica CS 3 stabs at it and never did get it right.

I have only used the Sigs briefly. They still have a blue tint, just not as bad. The Revics are still the best hunting bino LRF out there from what I have seen.

If I guy could get his hands on the new Sigs for roughly half off, 1400 bucks, are the Revics still worth it over the Sigs?

I personally would rather have the Revic’s if what I’ve seen so far. But I am not saying the Sig’s aren’t good.

Anyone else pick a pair up and compare glass to a gen 1?

 

[flyinsquirel]

Does Sig now offering lifetime on electronics move them up the ladder?

 

[Pfitter]

Looks that way. It’s why I’m now interested

Bumping this for info. Ordered a set and should be here Friday. Lets hear about some of you guys experiences with the new gen 2’s.

I received mine yesterday. It's pretty smokey where I'm at right now but I was able to compare them side by side with Leica geovids (3200.coms) and I was pretty impressed. The only thing the geovids do better in my opinion is the ergonomics. They are a little more comfy to hold and the eye cups seem to fit my face a little better. But I'm really happy with the Gen 2s so far. Hopefully get to test them out a little better this weekend.

Bump. Anyone got a line on thes for less tha $2700? Think I want to go this direction.

Thanks for all the info!

In terms of sensors (aside from the wind reader), would anybody know whether the Sig Kilo10k ABS HD Gen 2 offers all of the features offered in a Kestrel 5700x ?

I have been hesitating between getting either:
- a Kestrel 5700x + lower budget range finder
or
- a Sig Kilo10k ABS HD Gen 2 and a lower budget Kestrel wind reader

I am usually at ranger 600-1400y, and twice a year hunting deer and moose within 300y. I normally just use AB Mobile on my phone and estimate wind visually. Looking to take the next step

Thanks in advance for your kind help

So i ended up researching this myself by speaking with a few companies and thought i would answer my own question in this thread:

Ended up going with the Revic BR4. All of the sensors are there, and they’re accurate and reliable. Additionally, their ‘base wind’ feature is a nice quick solution from which to build from.

(It spits out adjustments that are exact matches to my Applied Ballistics phone app.)

Looking forward to see how Kestrel creates a space for itself in the future. Right now, i don’t need much more than their wind meter

Yep. Predator optics. Schmaltz(?) from hunt talk gave me a quote that’s killer. I’ve bought from him before - great guy.

I got mine used almost as soon as they came out for 2100. Might keep an eye on the hide.

Well thats not a good sign.....

Dude had to get shoulder surgery after he purchased them and wasn't going to be able to shoot matches or hunt the rest of the year. Said he needed the cash for bills. They came to me and looked brand new. They've been stellar. I've used them quite a bit at PRS stuff and they're solid as can be.

I might have bought the first used set. At the time you couldn't even get them from Sig new.
