Anyone used this rangefinder?

[smith931]

I need a rangefinder for bow hunting mostly. I have an older bow that is a very accurate bow. When the deer are out to 50 to 60 yds I start to have trouble guessing the correct range.I hunt quite a few different area's.
Now I want to buy Sig Kilo 2000.

Its specification is:
Magnification Range: 7x
Finish: Matte black w/Rubber
Objective: 25mm
Eye Relief: 0.59? (15mm)
Max Range: 3400 yards on Reflective targets
1500 yards on trees
1200 yards on deers
Reticle: Circle with data
Battery: CR2

If this rangefinder could do that for me or you have any other opinion, I would be happy.
Thanks for any opinions.

I don't see why you would need a 1500 yd rangefinder for archery use. Also 7x is a bit much for an archery rangefinder imo. I personally use a leupold rx1000 and its 6x seems a bit high in the thickets I usually hunt. I would recommend that u take a hard look at the redfield rangefinder. I don't really know anything about the sig.

I bought the SIG Kilo1250 last fall which is the lower priced model. So far I like it. I specifically bought it because it has an easy to use angle compensation feature which my previous rangefinder did not have. Only thing I wish that it had would be more maximum range for planning stalks. The Kilo2000 would provide that. The SIG will certainly be capable of ranging archery shots.

Scott and the guys did some reviews on the Kilo, I’m sure Scott has some info for ya.

The Kilo 2000 is a great rangefinder. I've used the 1600 a ton. The lasers in Sigs are the fastest and most accurate out of anything out there besides Zeiss, Leica, and Swaro.

Thanks for your kind words. All the replays are so much informative for me. Here I find so many new information which I didn't know before. Thank you so much all of you for your contribution.

I bought the same SIG Kilo 1250 around Christmas when it was on sale. Way better than the Bushnell that I had.

For archery only, you can find much cheaper models that will do the job as effectively. I also agree that 7X is higher than I would like for archery. That said, I'm sure it would do the job.

I use a Sig KILO850. I get consistent readings up to 500 yards, which is plenty for me during rifle season since I don't take shots over 300 yards. I used to have a Bushnell Scout 1000 Arc before I lost it antelope hunting. It was a frustrating piece of equipment that wouldn't even give me consistent readings at 200 yards.

I also just bought the kilo 2000 to replace an old bushnell. I haven't had it 2 weeks, but after looking at a ton of them decided it was the right choice for me.

I've used the sig 2000 for rifle shooting and hunting for the last 2 years. It's a great range finder that is very fast. During archery season I'm still using a Nikon 550 it works good for archery.

I use a Sig kilo 2000 and it is awesome. Super fast, accurate, red display which shows up well and durable.

I would buy another one in a second.

I have a SIG 2200. Very happy with it.

I have used the Redfield for a few years now and it is reliable. Only issue I have is that the button is a little hard to locate and press with gloves on. Even the thin warm weather gloves hinder button operation. It isn't terrible just something that has to be gotten used to..I think if they would have made it just a bit taller the issue would not exist..

At the minimum the Sigs have the fastest readback on the market. It's pretty much an instant reading. After getting used to a Sig, every other rangefinder I've tried since has been way to slow for me to go back to. So Sig is worth it on that regard alone!

If I was buying now I'd likely get the sig.
But I bought leica 3 years ago so that's where I'm at for now

About the same for me. I’d pay more attention to the features you need/want, than worrying if it has more range capability than you need. Extra range capability it useful and often helps plan stalks etc.

Thanks for any opinions.

I made my range finder based on one description from wood

Curious if the Sig has image stability?

I've used the Kilo 2000 a bunch for archery and rifle....it is a great, lightweight rangefinder and works great on close yardages for archery and also out to yardages that are way past where we would shoot with a rifle. Unless you wanted the BDX system to be a part of it, I can't think of anything else you'd need a rangefinder to do....
