Post by: Sakko300wsm on October 26, 2016, 06:26:09 PM: I've had both - Sig Kilo hands down! Hits super fast repeatedly where the vortex would sometimes take several clicks . The vortex stuff is still a good product tho

Post by: washingtonhunter121 on October 26, 2016, 06:37:15 PM: Same as everybody else buy the sig and don't look back. Only way your going to get quicker and faster readings for long ranges are going to probably be almost twice as much. Can hit a deer around 1400 and in good light have got 2100 yards on rock faces or a tree line

Post by: lamrith on October 30, 2016, 07:34:24 AM: SWFA has the SIG on sale for $349.99

I have been starting to think about a rangefinder to use to longer range rifle since my bow one is 600max. You guys are gonna cost me $$!!

there's lots of fag in western wa. That's why I stay over here on the east side.
I really like Vortex optics. I haven't had a chance to play with the sig ones but I have heard some good things about it

Post by: JJD on November 01, 2016, 09:36:51 AM: Testing the Sig against the Vortex, I found the Sig gathered light better than the Vortex. Most of my archery game shots have come at dusk and dawn, just as light was fading. I had a cheaper Bushnell that I had primarily used in dog training. It's light gathering was poor at best. Before I upgraded I tried everything from a G7 to a Halo. The Sig got the nod, best bang for the $.
After getting it home, I experimented with measured distances and the sigs ability. I thought, just cuz it gives me a number does not mean it's accurate, especially on non-reflective targets. I was a little surprised and very pleased with the little units accuracy. Only real down side is no tripod tread in the units base.
