Title: Zulu6 Sig Sauer - anyone ever use them?
Post by: Wanttohuntmore on March 08, 2025, 08:40:07 PM: Bought a pair today... hoping for good things with them. Been using high end Zeiss for years but wanted to test stabilized Binocs out. Anyone hunt with them?

They can be a lil
Funky - I wouldn’t want look thru them hours on end. But they beat the heck out of setting up a spotting scope. We all are carrying a pair now. I used them instead of my Swaro Pure 12x for two weeks last fall.

I use them in lieu of a spotting scope at matches. I hand them to other rifle coaches to look through and tell them to flip the stabilizing lever. You can see people "flinch" when the image stabilizes, then look at you all bug-eyed.. :chuckle: "Wow, that's really cool"
I should get a commission from Sig; I know I've "sold" a couple of pair for them...

At nearly double the weight I just don’t see the benefit.

Post by: Wanttohuntmore on March 10, 2025, 05:46:47 AM: Yeah, did a bunch of research and bought the 16x42. Hoping the FOV isn't too restrictive. I can still see the need for my 8x Zeiss for closer range areas.

Let us know what you think of them when they get here, and if you’re happy with the magnification. I’m also considering the exact same ones.
