First one wouldn't range much past 500. Returned and the 2nd is AWESOME! Even in fog/rain, better than a Leica 1200 and Vortex1000. Reliability, ask me this time next year....
That's not what I want to hear! Lol. Sending the first one back already? Idk seems like every rangefinder has a couple of duds

FWIW: I bought one of the first Leica rangefinders when they came out. I had to return it to Leica because the laser was misaligned.

Post by: Bob33 on January 06, 2017, 01:03:23 PM
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?That doesn't sound like normal behavior and I would return it if you can't read anything past 800 yards. I've had readings over 3K with mine.

Wow sounds just like the old leica 1600-b at twice the price. Weird. Does have bluetooth which is cool though.

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

I don't even know how you'd be able to hold steady enough at that range to hit the stop sign.
Post by: Bob33 on January 16, 2017, 07:33:44 AM
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.I played around with one the other day at work. Hit 839 yards a few times.

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

Just picked one of these up. Sig Kilo2000 is $330 on sale at sportsmans warehouse in south hill. Add a $10 coupon from the sportsmans show and it was $320+tax. Pretty good deal I think. Can't wait to try it out.WOW, prices have really dropped on them for sure. and I am wondering if they are closing them out/have a new unit on the way? Usually Camofire gets surplus product, but they have the Kilo2000 per an email I just got. Not seeing it listed for sale, might be coming up later.
