[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1491001, member: 10291"] Quite frankly, I really like the design and several features of the Sig 2400, and my experiences with the support team at Sig have been excellent. Some of the Sig 2400 features are, IMO, better then the G7(auto reticle, small size, advanced ELR ballistics). I have found that the ballistic outputs and ranging accuracy of the Sig 2400 and G7 the same out to my 1200 yard hunting max range. None of my rangefinders do well in heavy fog. My preference for the G7 for “hunting” boils down to two aspects. Reliability in the field and a preference for some of the operational features of the G7. While hunting, myself and others have had instances where the Sig will “lock up” either temporarily or permanently. I have also had some issues at the extremes of temperature. I have had my earlier Sig 2400 unit updated with the current software, and also used currently available units, but the issues persist, most recently, last week. I’m not sure that all the bugs have been worked out of the Sig 2400. Fortunately, I always carry my G7 as a primary or back-up RF on hunts. I have never had an operational issue with the G7 in either version across a wide rage of harsh conditions over a seven year period. Additionally, I find that the speed of acquiring an accurate range in difficult ranging situations easier and faster with the G7. The slightly larger beam(which matches the reticle area) combined with the fast fingertip control of the near/far filters(Tru-targeting feature), IMO, delivers an accurate range more effectively then using either the scanning mode, or having to enter the mode file of the Sig 2400 to select the Best/Last filters. This is time consuming and requires a “very” steady rest at the longer ranges. While either RF will work fine with a majority of the ranging situations, it’s the difficult ranging situations, that can many times make the difference with the taking of a good animal which has been the case for me in several instances over the years. I’m primarily a whitetail hunter. A skittish mature buck usually gives very little margin for error. This buck was shot last year at 754 yards. He was about 50 yards deep in the brush off the edge of an alfalfa field. The G7’s filters allowed me to quickly filter the fore and aft interferences to land a precise chest shot.
