Anyone been able to get behind and compare the Sig Kilo 10k G2 to the Revic BLR10b? Narrowed it down to these two and can't find a direct comparison review. Thanks in advance.

I think you'll find them both to have excellent technology but the Revic is optically superior

I had the BLR10B and have owned other Sig rangefinders in the past but not their binoculars. Perhaps I am a simple minded fool, but I couldn't stand the BLR10B, and got rid of it. There are too many options and menus for the number of buttons it has and 9/10 times I would change the wind setting while trying to do something else. Then you have to press a bunch of times to get it back to where you had it before. People on here rave about Revic's App, but I much preferred Sig's offering as it was more straight forward. I found the Revic convoluted and couldn't tell if it was doing what I had asked it to and had a couple of incidents where it just wouldn't sync. The first until I left it overnight and another time where it needed a firmware update but I had no cell reception like I would if I were in the field. For something that is supposed to make shots faster, it sure seemed like it was trying to do the opposite. I also found the glass poor coming off a SLC 10x42. I was out playing with it birding, and looked at a seagull flying in front of an overcast sky and the chromatic aberration was so bad it doubled the gull. Was not impressed, I sold my SLC's and my 2400ABS to pay for it and regretted following the hype.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experience. Anyone else used both? How's the interface / workflow/ use of the Sig Kilo 10k G2? Looks like several members find the Revic's interface complicated…. Thanks in advance.

Sigs. I have/had both. Stuck with the Sig Gen2 10ks. Almost no difference in glass, and the Sig app and buttons are light years easier to use than the Revics. Revics are way to complicated for a hunting binocular.

Another one that's had both. Sold the Revics and love the sig Gen 2

Thanks everyone.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I've been considering upgrading from my SLCs to a rangefinding bino but the more I read about them and consider the type of hunting I do, the more I think I'll try to get into a set of NLs and keep my handheld rangefinder.
My biggest concern in going to a combo unit is not having as good of glass quality that the SLCs provide. I spend way more time glassing throughout the year that I just don't wanna give up the quality. Hoping the NL won't disappoint over the SLC in low light.

I was able to get behind the Revic BLR10b today and hit targets to 1020. Their accuracy and the speed of return for a solution was lightning fast. I didn't play with the wind speed / vector settings as they were not mine. I asked my buddy if he is using the wind vector option and he said he isn't. He uses the a full value 10 mph base wind only. Anyways, the glass was nice to my eye and the laser and ballistic solutions were accurate and super fast. Couldn't get into the other features. I still have not got behind the G2 Kilo10 to compare which is where I'm leaning.
