Sig Zulu6 PRO (NEW GLASS)

[donrleonard]

One of the complaints I have heard from the HDXs is the low light performance, what is your experience with the low light performance?

I’d like to know this too.

None of the stabilized Sigs are great in low light. The new pro models give you maybe 60sec more viewing at each end of the day, but are worse in every other way.

Not great. It’s the sacrifice you make for the lighter weight and smaller size of the 42s. I’m ok with the trade off for how I glass and hunt. They’re probably 5 minutes behind an alpha 15x56 in identifying bodies vs bushes and counting tines a half mile and out at first light.

Does anyone have any input on clarity between the HDX and HDX pro. I know they don’t compare to NLs but I’m looking to get a pair of zulus and can’t decide between the HDX or HDX pro. I’m also curious just how different they are in low light performance. Ive read the pros are “way better than the HDX in low light performance” and I’ve also read that they give you “5 min more than the HDX”

Just go to Cabelas or Sportsmans and buy both. They have 30 day returns on optics - keep the ones you want or neither.

My experience buying 3 different Pro models was that clarity was all over the place, with the best one being almost imperceptibly better than my Gen 2's. Then price, weight, shitty stabilization, etc.

How is the stabilization worse if they both have the same IS technology except one you have to toggle between and the other has omniscan?

Exactly. Omniscan is not the same. It sucks.

Has anyone compared the 14/16/18 side by side?
