Need a new LRF some advice please UPDATE SPOKE WITH SIG

[Mike D Texas]

Spoke with Sig a few minuets ago. Guy said he will send me an email, send him pics of the KILO 2K including the serial NO# and he will send me a replacement SIG KILO 3k FREE 100% absolutely free, just properly dispose of the old KILO 2K.

Now that's what I call customer service on a LRF that is at least eight years old and SIG is under no obligation to warranty it.

Hmmmm, I have a Kilo 2400 that died a few months ago. May be worth a try to get it replaced.

Too many downsides for the asking price.

You don't sound like someone who's used them. I prefer the Revic over our Leica RF binos. Ranging performance is notably improved and the ballistics more comprehensive. But if you're not doing much on the top end of "long range", they might be overkill. I get it that everyone has different parameters and expectations.

To be honest I didn't consider Sigs LRF warranty at time of purchase. Just didn't. I am looking for just a well made dependable weather proof LRF with a back lit screen. I will use it for archery and rifle deer hunting as well as turkey hunting. Unless I am hunting private ground for deer my ranges due to public ground cartridge length limitations, shots will be 300 yards and under as I use a 450 Bushmaster and Bear Creek copper bullets in my reloads whos' MV is 2550fps.

My budget right now is must be under $275. Can't afford a bino/LRF combo, LRF only.

I have a new in box Athlon Midas One Mile Rangefinder which has a lifetime warranty through Athlon which I'd be willing to part with for $225 shipped since I switched to rangefinder binoculars I won't be needing it.

I can't seem to send PMs so email me at [email protected]
Thanks

PS if you don't care about a warranty I have a Simmons rangefinder I could let go for only $100 shipped which doesn't range as far as the Athlon, in fact it's not even in the same league, but fine for very close distances. I had previously purchased one of these Simmons cheapies and it worked so well for something so cheap I bought another as a spare.

I haven't used them but the fact that they can't pair with a Kestrel is a downside IMO. I also would prefer the display show yardage, and solution on the same screen like the SIG10k G2 without having to scroll between them. And even though it is in its infancy, the shot marker tracking ability would be nice to have. Not crazy about using a proprietary ballistic solver either. How does their bullet library look? Is it pretty comprehensive?

Oh and the fact the it has a total warranty of 2 years is ludicrous as well.
