Nice review. I've been pretty impressed with mine so far as well. The speed and consistency of the readings has been the most impressive for me up to this point. I wish it had a better waterproof rating and I agree about the size of the reticle/circle being a bit big but otherwise I think it's a fantastic unit that can't be beat for the price.

The more I use this thing the more I like it. I have a Leica CRF 900 that I've used for the past 9 years and it's a great accurate rangefinder. I got the Kilo because of the added range for rifle shooting, but with the angle comp on this Sig unit I think I'll be using it for archery season this year as well. I tested it at home on one of my tall Blue Spruce trees. I'd range the top after walking off horizontal distances and it was spot on even as short as 4 yards away from the tree. Highly recommend this unit.

Both Kilo's I looked through had a very defined blue tint to the optics. Is it just my eyes or did you notice the same thing?

I noticed it a bit under certain lighting conditions (mostly indoors) but not all conditions. I assumed it was from the Lumatic OLED display that adjusts the display intensity to match ambient light conditions. I don't have a ton of field time with mine yet but under normal conditions outside I haven't noticed the blue tint.

I didn't notice it at all, now I need to forget this so I don't look for it. To me it seems more neutral as my vortex had a green tint.
