Jonathan, what is the problem that has caused you to send yours in? I'm very interested in buying one of these.

Yep

That's why I decided on the leupold honestly. I don't need to go past 600 at all

With sig number 2, I'm able to get ranges out to 1370 on Douglas fir treetops, something I wouldn't consider reflective.  Buildings out to 1900 so far.  Haven't tried a stop sign but 1700 yds would not shock me now.

I have one but have had trouble getting any sort of reading beyond 800 yards or so...  Should I be able to range a stop sign at 1k with it?  I assume it would have to be on a really stable rest to range at that distance?

trying to figure out if I need to send mine back or not...
i would return it. I can ping a stop sign at over a mile off hand almost instantly

Over 1760 yards on a stop sign offhand?
yes 1860

I have two Leupolds. I won't have a third. They are junk. Their range finders are not the same quality as their scopes.

I played around with one the other day at work. Hit 839 yards a few times. I was impressed with how instant it was. I'm going to get one i think, unless there is a better option in the same price range.

Your buying the sig? I'm sure it's awesome. I just like leupold so decided to stick with them.

I think so.

I don't even know how you'd be able to hold steady enough at that range to hit the stop sign.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The Sig Kilo take multiple readings per second with the button depressed, so it's possible to hit small targets offhand. The challenge in those instances is knowing which of the readings is from the intended target.

It's everything. Everything just goes bad at once. Optic gets blurry, display is fuzzy. Range capability goes from amazing to mediocre to crap.

I think this thing might have been rushed to market

The Sigs are fast, that is why some are able to ping things long distance offhand.  Mine hit a stopsign @ 1038yrds offhand even in low light and with it snowing and me shaking due to cold hands.  It did take me a couple tries due to shaking, but it worked.  I see no reason someone could not hit one 1860 in better conditions or a building @2600+.  There are videos on youtube with guys hitting 3k+ with the sig on a bipod, so the unit (when working properly) has great reach.

Just hoping I do not have luck like Jonathan has had...
