Kind of torn on the 8x vs the 10x. I have a set of 3k’s already so probably makes more sense to snag the 8x.
Figured I had to snag a set before you fuckers bought them all.
I’ll play with them side by side with the 3000bdx which in all respects have worked well for me.
Thanks for the store link.

Just arrived a couple minutes ago. Can’t comment on much except they come with a nice harness/strap setup. Hopefully can stretch her legs soon.
Got my 8xs in Friday…pretty good first impressions so far. Haven’t had time to fool with the BT interface, APP, etc but imagine it’s gonna work just as well as the 3ks.
Noticeably less blue tint in the glass compared to the 3ks…
Eye cups are tighter with good, positive locks…
Very nice size/weight…(of course)
Laser is very fast, along with the scan mode… Haven’t had any other conditions other than bluebird skys but was hitting tree lines at 2800, reflectives at 4400-4600, wooden high line poles at 3300, cattle out to 2350.
Glass is useable for sure. Took a little bit to get the right side diopter to play nice with my left eye dominance, but all good.

The Los's are shit.
Though he had them all fucked up in the wrong Modes,I sorted same out and they still were subpar. Obvious to me,was that the armor(rubber) coating was covering a portion of the emitter. I advised him to box them up,write a nice note and be thrilled with the replacements. I'm dumb enough to have cut some armor away,but cain't tell others to do so.(grin)
My Leica's are Dog Shit in comparison and 8x is a HAPPY place,with said objective sizing(exit pupil is Physics).
These are simply fucking WICKED..............

Have you tested out the waypoint projection feature? Would it get you right to a downed critter across a valley accuracy-wise?
Haven’t personally because I’m not a Basemap user, but from other users that feature sounds like it’s very unreliable at best.
In which way? Clear blue skies here so ranging has been easy but still impressed with how quick they range at distance.
Leicas won’t range thru hardly anything in the atmosphere
Be it rain, fog, etc
The sigs do a whole lot better
Couple days ago Calvin and I were out shooting and it was kinda foggy
Sigs would range the target no problem while Leica just said 20 yards
They are Not even in the same realm when it comes to ranging in unfavorable conditions

With the sigs and bad weather just hold the button down and as ‘Stick said let them chew thru it
Leica will lie and say it is 19 or 20 until the weather improves or the cows come home

Got it, thanks. We have a lot of fair weather days so I haven’t had a chance to use them in the fog. Beats the pants off of using a separate rangefinder and honestly a lot of glass. Win/win. Favorite part of my kit right now.
Had a little issue with mine today, couldn’t get them to read anything over about 300. Spotted a coyote bedded way out in a pivot, spent 15 minutes trying to get the glasses to work. Lucky little bastard could still be laying there for all I know.
Monkeyed with them, swapped the battery…. nothing.
Finally got pissed enough to give them a nice “fuck’em” toss on the floorboard. They’re back to working like a champ after the bounce. Still don’t know WTF was up.

Been running the 3k for a couple years. Went to the 8x 6ks because I hate 10x binoculars. Bought two of the 8x 6ks, I suppose I’ll run the other one while the OG set is sent back to Sig.
Headed back out in the am…. this bitch wasn’t as lucky as the hayfield dog. Though you don’t really need your rangefinder to work, when you shoot them at 45 yards.

Still rocking my 3000BDX's but i did have to use their customer service AK air thought it would be nice to break the eye piece off of them and I sent them back and had them back in hand 7 days later good as new.
Mine arrived without the burden of any instructions, so I found a couple useful things in the online manual. There's a couple button-press sequences that can create delays in operation.... https://www.sigsauer.com/media/sigsauer/resources/OPERATORS-MANUAL-KILO6KHD-7404029-01-REV01-ENGLISH.pdf
Stick, you throw them in a creek yet? Grin
My stuff gets sooooo wet in my pack and on overnight hunts, I'm a bit on the fence to dropping coin on something like that. I really want them though.

I got a chance to fondle a set of Vortex Fury HD 5000 10x42 rangefinding binos the other day. They seemed like really good optics, and the range-finding feature was pretty slick. Their website says the Vortex warranty also covers the electronics, which sounds like a good thing.
Does anyone know how these compare to the Sig offering(s)?

Knocked the cherry off the new Sigs… and my new Shaen 7 SAUM barrel. 162 AMax FTW again.
