I provide a detailed review and comparison of the Sig Kilo10K-ABS HD and Kilo6K HD range finding binoculars.
I will be following up with at least one more video to fully review the capabilities of their electronics, ballistic software, and Bluetooth linking compatibility.

@paul.g.h 8 месяцев назад

Good review. Thanks. I've had the 10k for about 18months now (perhaps the first pair in the UK I brought back here from the States :) I primarily use them for ELR, and used off a bipod I have never failed to get a reading on any reflective target out to around 4000m. They just do the business. I'm sure you won't regret carrying them for your customers. (Oh & btw, they do have a mounting point for a standard 90° elbow type binocular tripod adapter... just screw off the wee cap from the distal end of the centre hinge where you'll find the ¼in female. Works a treat... ;))

@SoldMyHat 2 месяца назад

I’m looking to get my first rangefinder. I’ve settled that binos are the way to go for dual use for hunting and long range shooting. At the Sig KIlo 6k price point, is there a better option? Only really aware of the vortex fury or the Burris HD LRF. Any other options and would Sig be the best option?

@paramounttactical 2 месяца назад

I do think the 6Ks are the best option at that price point and are significantly better than the ones you mentioned. The LRF and ballistic features are great and you’d have to spend a lot more to get better optical clarity. I’ve been disappointed in Sig optics in the past but they got this one right. If you decide to go with those and order from us, we can cover the taxes. www.paramounttactical.com/product/kilo6k-hd/ Either way, I hope that helps and thanks for watching! -Gary

@jasonsponsler21 8 месяцев назад

John Walsh had a good question- do you still need to get or have a Kestrel with the 10k

@paramounttactical 8 месяцев назад

No. The idea is they do everything the Kestrel Elite does. Updates the ballistic solution with environmental changes and distance with every target laze and then provides that in the heads up display.

Great Review, THE Real question is "Sig Kilo 6K" or "Vortex Fury HD 5000AB"?

@commonsense5709 7 месяцев назад

SIG are disposable throw away RF binoculars because SIG has no plans to offer repairs past their limited 5 year warranty and chances is the warranty may be already expired since it's from date of manufacture not date of actual purchase. Vortex has a lifetime warranty including their electronics so they will never become obsolete.

@justsnuggle 7 месяцев назад

@@commonsense5709 i-1000% agree. But you can't argue when sig is the one that's available, and has a pretty good feature set for the price. I think I just saw the 6K go on sale for $800 compared to the vortex rolling around 1300. But that's why I want the comparison because if the vortex has much better glass quality and features then the extra price is worth it when you include the excellent warranty.

@chrisfisher3900 8 месяцев назад

Want to see what you think about the vortex impact 4000

@paramounttactical 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, I’m going to get one to review. My personal thoughts though are that I’m not a fan of LRFs mounted to a rifle. Really limits your use. It has to be zeroed to that rifle and has no versatility. It’s like the Wilcox before it. Everyone thought it was great then realized it was pretty impractical. You can’t even handhold to laze targets. You’re stuck with it on one rifle and that requires a setup process for it to work properly.

I heard Sig has BY FAR the best laser but horrendous optics/glass. Leica basically the opposite (amazing glass but just a decent laser) and Vortex is somewhere in between with both. Is this accurate?

@paramounttactical 8 месяцев назад

The 6K HD has extremely good clarity/glass quality. Surprisingly impressive. I’ve looked through the Leica geovid, I’d need a Leica to look through side by side but I’d bet it’s close.

@KevinWood44 8 месяцев назад

@@paramounttactical Hmm No shit?? I guess it also depends what you are using it for. If it is also your binos you want/need better glass, but if you just need to range targets who really cares about the glass? I am looking for a higher end RF (compared to current Leupold) and it is a very tough call. I want a ballstic RF so Im looking at the Leica 2800, the Vortex 5000 and the Sig. Not an easy call.

SIG are disposable throw away items die to their limited 5 year warranty and they have no plans to even repair anything past their 5 year electronics warranty and it's from date of manufacture not date of actual purchase so the warranty might be already expired if you buy new old stock on sale that's been sitting in a warehouse for years before you buy it. Vortex on the other hand has a lifetime warranty including their electronics so it will never become obsolete. You pass it on to your kids and grandkids. Buy anything SIG brand rangefinders and rifle Scopes etc that has electronics in them, you will find out the hard way ... Expensive paperweights after they break.

@@paramounttactical Thank you for the great review. Am I misunderstanding that you can sync these to any Garmin watch with the AB Elite software and it will give the 6K the ability to give ballistic solutions out past the 800 yards that comes with the UltraLite?

@paramounttactical 7 месяцев назад

A lot of outdoorsman don’t like rechargeable batteries. It’s hard to recharge a battery in the field. Replaceable batteries are easier to carry on you. Rechargeable batteries go bad as well. So typically the preference for outdoor products is replaceable. Thanks for watching! -Gary
