Sig Optics - any experiences?
« on: February 18, 2016, 09:00:34 PM »
Not long ago I got to use Sig's new Kilo 2000 rangefinder. I was very pleasantly surprised with how well that rangefinder works, very impressive unit. My first impression from the rangefinder got me looking at their website and now I'm interested in their Tango4 4-16x44 rifle scope. I think their scopes are quite new still, but has anyone personally seen either the Tango or Whiskey line of scopes?

I was with a friend who is the star of Long Range Reality the other day. He was using the Whiskey model and said it's the newest ticket for long range work for him. He also runs a shooting/self defense school. He's a private contractor and was a sniper in the military, so I kinda believe him more than most reviews on here you're going to get.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I have shot the optics in question and they have been functioning without any issues.  I believe Carl and Brent did well with them this past weekend.  I am impressed with the range finders also, fast and accurate. You can't go wrong with a company like Sig Sauer :tup:

There is a thread in Optics about the Sig rangefinder.

Cool, I have only met them once. I might run into them this weekend at LROC.

Both are real nice guys. But, when Carl runs a shoot, he's all 110% all business. I met Brent 15-6 years ago. His dad milled the logs for my house.

Mine is going back to Sig. It won't range hardly past 1100 yards. I made a comment on Facebook, on the Long Range Reality show site and the filmmaker of the show, gave me the big bosses name of Sig Sauer marketing. Craig Pfiefer, is sending me a new 2000 without any questions, BEFORE, I even send mine back. WOW is all I can say, plus, he's offered me anything they sell at an employee discount, 50% off MSRP. So, I'm thinking a suppressor if he can do that...

He said the diodes and transmitters (?) have to line up perfectly to work correctly. The guys I know on the show said they are ranging out to 1700 yards consistently with no problems.

The new one he's sending me was ranging out to almost 1800 yards today..

That's some serious good service! :tup:
