Sig Sauer Rangefinder

[WVTXn]

Anyone have any experience or recommendations pertaining to Sig Sauer Rangefinders? I'm looking at the Kilo3k, Kilo2800 & Canyon. I know that the Kilo3k has more bells & whistles, but are they that much of an upgrade from the Kilo2800 or Canyon? I like the idea of Sig's BDX 2.0 system for a future backup rifle for whitetails.

I'm not opposed to other brands, just think that Sig fits my logic at this point. I want to keep costs below $350 if possible.

Thanks for the wisdom. I'm new to any rangefinder.

I think I read somewhere that there is a brand preference order for rangefinders?

I have a sig can't remember which one, I have had no issues. I always read Leica makes one of the best rangefinders

I have a sig. Like it well enough. Does better than my old bushnell.

Always figure it can only range about half the quoted distance.

Pretty sure I have the 2k and it's good to about 600yds on a deer or elk. I think you need tripod stability beyond that distance.


App is pretty slick once you load up your ballistics

My son and I both have the 2800, they are good, very quick to range, neither of them have had any issues. We did range an elk at 1850yd but I would say that was good ranging conditions early morning lowish light and sun was coming up at our back. 1000yd ranges are very easy. I would recommend them. If you have a Sportsmans Warehouse near by or online, they usually have them for a good in their sales flyers. Wife got me mine for Christmas this last year after my 2 Leupold crapped out.

How much more satisfied are you with the sig than the leupold? Much more satisfied? Or just wanted to try something new? Sorry to dig.

Much more....it ranges so dang fast compared to the Leupolds

I've had the kilo2800 for a couple years now. No issues, it ranges just about anything out to 1000 yds, after that you need something fairly large and reflective. I think for $250 to $300 its a good bang for the buck.

I've ben thru Nikon and Leupold...SIG graphics are more vivid...user friendlier IMO. Think it's the 2800...snagged from schmalts IIRC.

Thanks gents

Just got the Kilo 2800. Seems good so far. Quick ranging. Seems accurate enough. Haven't figured out the bells and whistles but I don't really need them quite yet. Will post more hopefully in a few days.

I have one. Like it and haven't wanted to upgrade yet. It works for me.

I hae the Kilo3K. So far its been good. No complaints. Its a little finicky at the further distances about like any of them but still a huge amount better than my old one. For the price I have no complaints.

I am planning on buying the kilo 3k. And the 4x16x44mm put on my new 300 wby.

So far the 2800 ranges quickly and seems to be accurate. It does seem to be limited to just over 1000 yards without hitting a highly reflective target. But anything under that 1k yds is good to go. So far so good.

The BDX system associated with sig is awesome, you can put in your load you are using for rifle cartridges and link the rangefinder and have you phone synced and it will give you real time adjustments on both the display on the rangefinder and also on the app. Also gives the wind direction/speed etc. I don't remember which one I have but they are very nice for the price. I think the higher up models allow more extended ranges without the target being a reflective one.
