Reviews & Ratings for SIG SAUER Sierra6BDX 2-12x40mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Digital Second Focal Plane w/Kilo1600BDX 6x22mm Rangefinder — 11 reviews — Page 1

Very nice set up. Easy to use and works like expected. So far just used it on steel, hitting 8" plate out to 500 yards with ease with Sako S20 using 6.5 creedmoor. I can't wait for hunting season! Thinking about adding a stronger/better range finder for my old eyes.

I bought the kilo 1600 with scope 2.5 8x32, this 2 tools are fantastic, the issue i had is that connection between scope are not stable, you get disconnected with out warning. Vere things need to fix. 1. Need to to timed the last range on your scope, cause how you know , if that was the last ranged target. Only if the input on the scope that info. 2. I have a Bortex 1000 , and believe me i compare both, and Bortex RF more effective and fast. The display way more better. 3. Connectivity has to be impecable, you can relie on your phone to know if your bounded or not. The app should be good for the updates, custom profiles,etc but to manage the connection there is no way. Scope and range finder have need to have full independence from the phone. I guess sig disconnected the devices to save power but unfortunately , when you have a opportunity you can plug and play with your phone to be accurate.

The problem I had with the rangefinder not communicating with the scope was due to not verifying that the two were “bonded”. Each time you use the BDW , you need to go thru the app on you phone and verify that they are bonded. My second issue was with the quickness of the rangefinder and I still think that giving the used the choice of rate or one click would be good, but for the most part experience has made this a non-issue.

I have re-zeroed my rifles to 100 yards so as to use the BDX Rangefinder for shooting solutions. I am working up to shooting the 800 yards that the soft ware will accommodate. Happy Shooter in AR

I have complained before that the rangefinder is hard to use in that its 4” dimension is hard to hold on target and that you often get secondary undesired readings because it is so quick to range a target. I made an extreme effort to eliminate this and identify range & )Blue tooth connection on each shot, but today w 10 shots from 100/300/400 yds, in 10 shots I had 3 times that the rangefinder indicated a Bluetooth connection and did not communicate with the scope. As I said I was on a range w known distances and the failure to change elevations in the scope was obvious. The Rangefinder had the range right. One of the occasions was a double fault (2 times in succession). The scope showed the previous elevation and the light on the scope was steady/on. The third ranging was the charm and all was well. Later the same thing happened again, making it three times.

I Indicated that I would not recommend it to someone, but I am fascinated w the concept and believe/hope the tech issues will be resolved, but I would have to explain the the problems to anyone asking about the Combo. At this point I will only us the scope on the shooting range as I use 2 rifles to get comfortable with using the shooting solution of the rangefinder to adjust elevation/wind age on the conventional scope.

I had a discussion w another person today who has a BDX w the same issues. Like me he has several rifles and is ‘playing” w this Combo.

The rangefinder gives range information at the rate of 1/4 second. That being said it is all to easy to get a side range while releasing the range button and not looking at the range information. If you are on the shooting range you know about where the elevation should be, but in a hunting stand, in the rush to get your shot before the opportunity disappears this will cause many blown shots.

I suppose with more experience with BDX I will overcome this handicap and I write this that the techies at Sig S will pickup on it. Otherwise I give the combo a solid 4 stars. One thing that I see as a definite plus is that the rangefinder will give ranging info to use with other scopes. Also should there be issues with the combo it will be self diagnostic as to whether it is the RF or Sc. Lastly I like to scan with the rangefinder as opposed to holding the rifle up. - who likes to look across the way and see someone scoping them?

Here is hoping a good system gets an upgrade to a full 5 STARS

The not recommend is a qualified no. Everything is not yes/no

Work's great but I have a guestion is there away to be able to make the scope shoot farther than 800 yds one of my friends has this set up but he has an area that is cut in the top scope cover and can add click's to shoot farther he says his rangefinder tells him how many click's to add after 800 yds ???????

This is just an awesome product. Period! Very happy with purchase. Completely changed the way I hunt and awesome to plink around with. I paired this system with the new cva paramount and can hit gongs @600 with enough energy to harvest an elk!!

I love the scope and range finder set up. I put it on a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmor. Shoots great and it is fast when acquiring a range and shooting solution. The only complaint that I have is that it is only good for 800 yards unless you add a kestrel with it. It should be good to acquire a shooting solution out to 1000 yards. I guess I will purchasing a Kestrel next.

This scope and range finder are awesome, once bonded to each other they are great all the ballistic calculations are done for you.the scope and range finder package are great. I went with the highest powered scope Sig made to long range shooting. This scope is very well made and the range finder is good put to 1400 yards. I am very happy with the Sig sauer scope and range finder.
